When you sit in a slouched posture, your lower back flattens and the spine starts to curve forward. This doesn’t just affect your low back—it creates a chain reaction all the way up to your upper neck. As your head shifts forward, the upper cervical spine (C0–C1–C2) has to extend to keep your eyes level. This puts constant tension on the small muscles and ligaments at the base of your skull.
Over time, this can lead to tightness in the suboccipital muscles, joint stress, and even changes in how your nervous system functions. These upper neck changes are often linked to headaches, neck pain, dizziness, and brain fog. That’s why correcting posture and spinal alignment (especially in the craniocervical region) can make a big difference in how you feel.
