⚖️Upper Crossed Syndrome
This is often seen with individuals who have bad posture. When assessing posture we can see your head is more forward than your shoulders, your shoulders are rounded, and you have or are starting to get a 'hunch' back.
Common Causes of UCS are:
📍You use a computer or laptop for work or gaming
📍You spend long periods on your phone or other digital devices
📍You're a professional driver or you regularly drive long distances
📍Your job or hobby requires looking downward (sewing, hairstyling, etc.)
📍You participate in a sport, like swimming or weightlifting, that requires extensive use of the muscles in the shoulders, neck, and upper back
📍You sleep on your stomach
Could upper cross syndrome be the reason for your headaches and neck and back pain?
