Forward Head

 

This is a clear example of nice movement in my client’s structure from before and after a single session. One of the primary goals we discussed was finding ways to make room to allow his head to move back on top of his shoulder girdle which you can see in the after picture.  My client has spent a lifetime of working out with weights and developing dense muscle tissue contributing to his head’s forward position. Having a forward head presentation increases compressive loading on connective tissues in the cervical spine, including the facet joints and ligaments. Respiratory function is also weakened and can even have a negative effect on static balance. His structure is more balanced, and his lateral line are much improved in the after image.
