Fixing Forward Head Posture - Part 1 | Hip Mobility | Align Podcast
Forward head posture is the unsightly trend of your head leaning forward and giving you “nerd neck” or a “hunch back” look. Not sexy at all. FHP occurs when your head is leaning forward out of neutral alignment with your spine. When the alignment of the head is off, it causes a variety of problems, including stiffness in the neck, chronic pain and balance issues.
Forward head posture is primarily caused from poor postural patterns due to the modern lifestyle. The key culprit is looking down for long periods of time (think looking at your phone or computer, driving, sitting on the couch, etc.).
In this video series, I’ll walk you through 5 movements & exercises you can do to reverse the trend and alleviate any potential issues from this less-than-deal postural pattern.
