  • Do you have a forward head or slumped posture that you wish you could fix? If so, you will definitely want to watch this video. I’m going to show you how to fix a forward head and rounded shoulders the right way by focusing on what is really causing these problems. Here’s a hint. If you followed other posture correction videos for a forward head you likely never fixed the root of the issue and only did a temporary solution.

    When trying to correct any issue in the body, it is good practice to not focus on the site of the issues when looking for the solution. Instead, you need to look for the source. For instance, when it comes to fixing the position of the head and neck you cannot just look at the muscles that surround the area for the answer to your problems.
    This is especially true if you realize that the neck is just a portion of the spine. The spine is an incredibly long structure that has elements in the neck, mid back and lower back. Doing anything to a region of the spine down below is going to have repercussions on the levels above by virtue of the fact that it is one big interconnected chain.
    That said, the positioning of the neck into a craned position is often the result of a compensation of the eyes to make sure we are looking straight ahead. When the thoracic spine is excessively curved below we wind up rounding forward, with our head following. This takes our eyesight line down towards the ground. The craning of the neck back to horizontal is simply a reaction to the position of the thoracic rounding and not necessarily something in need of fixing directly.
    The same can be said of the lumbar spine and pelvis. If you place your pelvis into posterior tilt, you will affect the position of the thoracic spine as well. This is once again due to the connectedness of the entire spine as a whole. The key is to try and break this pattern up. You want to reverse the excessive posterior tilt and restore lost extension into the thoracic spine. When this happens, the cervical spine will often times correct itself.
    To work on doing this you will want to do the exercises shown here. First, to mobilize the area of the thoracic spine that is most restricted while at the same time establishing proper pelvic position you would do the bench mobility combo demonstrated. From here, you want to hold the position for a minute which is going to provide not just mobility to the tight areas but an isometric challenge to the deep flexors of the neck which tend to get weak over time from adaptations of the faulty posture.
    If you’re just beginning, one minute three times per day of the first variation is enough. If you are more advanced you can place the arms overhead for more of a thoracic mobility challenge. Finally, the most advanced can add a weight plate to the front of the head for additional neck flexor strengthening.
    Finally, you want to reinforce the corrections you make with the use of a face pull overhead raise. The addition of the overhead raise helps to hit the lower traps which will restore normal positioning of the shoulders and correct the forward rounding that promotes the neck adapatations in the first place.

    4:04 prop yourself up with center of thoracic spine directly against edge of bench.(most form of contact being center of thoracic spine to bench, subsequently triceps to bench and feet to ground.) Now get into pelvic anterior tilt. Then keep head parallel to the floor. Hold for 1minute. Repeat 3 times per day.
    5:03 once got that nailed, increase difficulty, extend arms side by side to your head.
    5:36 increase difficulty again, wrap cloth around a weight plate, hold to fore head and slowly do simple "yes" head movents.
    6:30 Do face pulls but when you reach your face, extend arms straight up and then back straight down. just a couple sets once a day.

    So happy for this and the other posture video here. I was once told I walk leaning forward a little, so I think I'm realizing I have a lot of these issues. 3x a day would be tough, but I'll at least try to incorporate them more regularly. Never hurts to look taller and open up the chest when you're walking around.

      Movere Ergo Sum Well no as a chiropractor the most effective treatment of not just forward head carriage but most ailments are correction and educating your clients to sustain that adjustment on there own. Especially when you consider such posture leads to a host of issues like diabetes as the pull on the brain stem reduces nerve supply to every organ in the body so the importance cannot be overstated. I guess it comes down to the individuals morals and ethics I for one cannot justify fixing apart of a problem and remaining silent on the others, the Irony in my experience is when you're honest and legitimately care for each person who walks through the door as if it were yourself (that is when we see breakthrough in both health and relationship) people keep coming back on their own.

      Same here. I've had it all my life. The first time I became aware was in 1999 when I saw a video of us in ROTC marching. Just the other day I was filming a video for a how-to on something and was reminded I still have it. Jeff definitely has some telepathic magic, or he sees it enough regularly. When I use perfect form and correct posture in the mirror at the gym it makes a night and day difference in my workout and the way I appear, but I am aware as soon as I step away it will kick back in subconsciously. I do a modified version of the face pulls since the cable machines tend to be always busy. I get on one of those stationary back-extension stations and just pull a 45lb plate to my face, but I'm obviously not going back far enough. I haven't been doing those rubber band abduction pulls since the first time I saw that video. Maybe I'll start doing that and the bench thing as well, although I might be a bit too self conscious about using a bench just for that.

      Hello,
      Glad to read in your comment that you are feeling better after reducing meds and/or altering your diet.
      I haven’t had near the number of concusses, instead have been hit by a car while on my bicycle, then bucked off a spooked horse while he was running up steep trail path and rolled quite a ways down, and then rear ended by a 41’ Motorhome while I was stopped at a red light (jaws of life, temp paralysis).
      I’ve been off/on way too many meds over time, dealt w/chronic pain & headaches, dealt with Trigeminal Neuralgia (aka the suicide disease), and walked with a cane for years. I also said NO to brain surgery, and then found a new Primary Care Physician - Best decision ever!!!
      Like you, I started changing my foods then incorporating natural herbs, supplements to my diet which helped me feel physically better than almost any of the meds I was taking!!! I don’t use a cane anymore either.
      People are skeptical when I tell them how I recovered from most of the chronic pain I’d dealt with for about 20 years just by changing foods and diet. It’s amazing.
      That said, I’m still working on short term memory issues and occasional depression (2020 issues didn’t help with that).
      Any suggestions for improving short term memory issues?
      Thank YOU for serving in the Military!
