Hi Hoan, we uploaded this video a few years ago, we re-uploaded it with some updated information in the caption. We'll be doing that with a few videos over the next few months.

Brent, what do you think of the use of botox to help correct say forward head posture or helping aid the reprogramming of muscle compensations or imbalances? Of course this would go along with the proper activating and strengthening exercises, not as a quick fix, but as an aid. I have heard of it used for bruxism, but wondering your thoughts on all of this. Botox has an ad specifically for those with forward head posture. Thanks!

Personally I think it is very extreme @TropicaOptica, You are not just reducing a muscles activity, but completely shutting it down... I saw one woman after getting botox in trigger points in her traps and rhomboids. She literally could not retract her shoulder girdle, and although the muscle activity returned 6 months later, she had issues for years. Dr. B2

@@brentbrookbush9505 Really interesting. I guess same goes the for botox in the face. Maybe the most proactive thing would be facial yoga, sleep, good diet, and exercise.. and learning to live with wrinkles...or just get a facelift ;) But what about something like bruxism? Do you have any idea what causes this? I know it can be stress or anxiety related, but I wonder if people with forward head posture are more susceptible? And what causes stress and anxiety? I've always felt it was a symptom of physical issues.

@@tropicaoptica Hey TropicaOptica, you are kind-of getting out of my realm here. We are focused on optimizing motion. Stress may magnify the painful experience, but it is not the cause of orthopedic pain. Even with bruxism I am sure that trying more conservative approaches first would be ideal. Dr. B2

[@tropicaoptica]

I don't think stress causes orthopedic pain, I was saying maybe stress... or anxiousness/anxiety is a symptom of orthopedic pain or dysfunction (but not the only cause, just it's the thing that should probably be addressed first before people get too in their heads). Like say something like bruxism could be related to forward head posture, and forward head posture is a part of a lot of upper body dysfunction that could compromise breathing, which we all know, can cause anxiety... which they say can be a cause for bruxism. Sorry though, it was really late, I was probably just thinking out loud here.

@@tropicaoptica Gotcha... Complicated, multi-factor issues and late nights don't mix. I get your point, and totally agree. Dr. B2
