WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT!

Content: To compensate for the upper body shift, your hips tilt forward. And this is how you end up getting bent out of shape. How does this happen? The most common habits we all have that encourages the head to tilt forward is hunching over a laptop, computer or book! Most of us do this every day without even realising it! For every inch your head moves “forwards”, the head “gains” 10 pounds in weight, as far as the muscles in your upper back and neck are concerned, as they have to work harder to keep the head (chin) from dropping forwards onto your chest. This forces the muscles that raise the chin to remain in constant contraction. This can cause headaches at the base of the skull, and even mimic sinus headaches! It can also give you quite obviously, neck and shoulder pain! 2.
