Forward head posture? How to fix/address

[superbigd]

So massage therapist today pointed out that while my back posture is decent my head has a forward posture more than likely due to the desk job. I’ve noticed this before but never gave much thought to this. How can I fix this or what exercises can I do to address it? Thanks boys

Do a YouTube search. There are exercises to fix head-forward posture.

Stand next to the wall. Inch your feet out about 3-4 inches. Put the back of your head against the wall. You should be leaning against the wall with only your head touching and pushing your head backward with both your neck and thoracic muscles. Try and stand tall and make your head as tall as possible.

The resistance is set with how far away your feet are from the wall. Do this each morning for 30-60 seconds and/or a few times a day.

Also try lying face up without a pillow here and there.

Shoulders and neck was/is my problem, if I don't constantly work on it.

When I work on my posture, I start at my feet. How far apart, toe in/toe out/parallel, foot arch, heal to ball weight balance, few degrees bend in knees, hip angle, shoulder/chest position and then think about my neck/head position. All the while remembering to breath and make sure my body is in line vertically, not throwing hip or head to a side.

Common problem in this age I've noticed.

Alot comes from looking down to your phone, or atleast that is what i've noticed

What I found works best for me is wearing collard shirts. Make sure the back of your neck is always in contact with the collar. Great guide for my neck posture.

Go on YouTube and search Chin Tucks.

Hang from your teeth. When you walk through a door into a room, and you're conscious of maintaining your posture, imagine there is a circus rope with a mouth bit hanging from the door. Imagine that bit in your mouth is stretching your body from the floor up, like you're literally hanging from your teeth. It helped me.

Neck traction exercise.

I use this exact device. https://www.meyerdc.com/pettibon-cervical-traction-unit

3 set of 20 slow and controlled. It took me a couple months to see a difference in posture.

Do head extensions where you bring your head straight back and give yourself a double chin. Hold for few seconds and repeat for 10-15 reps and 3 sets. I like to put my fingers on my chin and use that to help control the direction straight posterior without any neck extension.

I wonder if doing wrestler's bridges would help?

My chiropractor gave me a stiff piece of foam to assist with this. Looks like this
