📌 Ways to Help Forward Head Posture
Forward head posture (sometimes called “tech neck”) happens when the head juts forward instead of stacking naturally over the shoulders. Over time, this can cause neck pain, tight shoulders, headaches, and even reduced breathing capacity.
Here are some simple ways to correct and prevent it:
1. Check Your Workstation
• Keep your screen at eye level.
• Sit with your back supported and feet flat on the ground.
• Avoid looking down at phones or laptops for long periods.
2. Strengthen Weak Muscles
• Chin tucks: Gently pull your chin straight back (like making a “double chin”) to strengthen deep neck flexors.
• Scapular squeezes: Pull shoulder blades together to improve upper back stability.
3. Stretch Tight Muscles
• Chest stretch: Open arms wide against a doorway to stretch tight pecs.
• Neck side bends: Gently tilt your ear toward your shoulder to relieve tightness.
4. Daily Movement
• Take posture breaks every 30–60 minutes.
• Roll your shoulders back and down.
• Stand up and walk to reset your posture.
5. Massage & Bodywork
Neuromuscular massage therapy can release tight muscles, restore balance, and reduce pain from poor posture—helping you maintain long-term correction.
✨ Consistency is key: small daily changes make a big difference over time.
