Did you know your head weighs around 4.5โ5.5 kilograms? ๐คฏ
Thatโs roughly the weight of a bowling ballโฆ
โฆsitting on top of a small stack of neck bones.
When your head is balanced nicely over your shoulders, your body manages that weight beautifully.
But when it drifts forward (hello phones, laptops and school iPads ๐), the load through your neck increases significantly.
Over time this can contribute to:
โข Neck tension
โข Headaches
โข Shoulder tightness
โข Fatigue
โข Postural strain
The good news?
Small posture changes make a big difference.
At Cudgegong Chiropractic, we love helping our community understand their bodies โ because when you understand it, you can support it better ๐ค
If youโve been noticing neck or upper back tension lately, this might be why.
โจ Your body is clever. It just sometimes needs a little support.
