💡 How Much Does Your Head Weigh?

Your head weighs about 8 pounds—or roughly 7% of your body weight! That means your neck is working all day long to hold it up. Unlike other mammals (think monkeys, chimps, or gorillas, who rest frequently), we keep our heads upright for 16+ hours a day.

📌 Why does this matter?
➡️ As we age, a forward head posture increases strain on the neck.
➡️ More strain = higher risk of degeneration and discomfort over time.
➡️ Improving posture now can help prevent issues later.

✨ Pro tip: Give your neck a break! Just like you’d rest an injured knee or ankle, support your neck throughout the day to reduce unnecessary strain.

✨ Movement + Eye Training = Better Dizziness Relief! ✨

A fascinating 2023 study explored how combining:
👁️ Ocular motor exercises (eye movements),
💪 Neck strengthening, and
🔄 Neck mobility exercises
can improve the quality of life for individuals with dizziness by reducing symptom frequency and intensity.

The takeaway?
✔️ Movement is powerful.
✔️ Strengthening and improving mobility in your neck is essential.
✔️ Training your ocular motor system (how your eyes connect with your brain and neck) can make a big difference in recovery.

💡 If you're dealing with cervical dizziness, a customized program designed by a licensed professional can guide you toward relief. Don’t just wait for the dizziness to go away—train your systems to feel your best again!

Choosing pillows can be tough!

Here is 1 way you can keep more of a neutral neck and also decrease muscle activity of the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid at night to minimize muscle activity and soreness in the morning.

These muscles are generally tight and overactive in our modern postures.

Finding other strategies during the DAY can also help and will more than likely be a better long term strategy vs flipping through multiple pillows.

I hope this helps.
