The Hidden Strain: Understanding the Impact of Forward Head Posture on Spinal Health

Today, I'd like to focus on a common issue in our screen-dominated world: forward head posture (FHP).

Modern life often keeps us glued to our screens, leading to an increasing number of people suffering from forward head posture. This condition not only causes discomfort but can also lead to severe spinal issues. When your head is forward of its neutral alignment, it places additional pressure on your cervical vertebrae and supporting structures. For every inch your head moves forward, the strain on your spine doubles, affecting muscles, ligaments, and discs.

Q&A: Your Posture Questions Answered
Q: How can I tell if I have forward head posture? A: Stand against a wall with your heels, back, and head touching it. If your head doesn't touch the wall comfortably, you might have FHP.
