1:28 What causes forward head posture?
3:10 How to fix forward head posture
8:55 Check out my video on whiplash!
Today I want to share something very helpful that will help correct forward head posture.
Forward head posture is when a person isn’t pushing their whole body forward but they hold their head past the midline of their body.
Every inch your head goes forward, there is a tremendous amount of tension added to the upper part of your neck. A problem with the upper part of the neck can lead to all sorts of different issues.
Forward head posture may cause:
• Headaches
• Insomnia
• Neck pain
• Dizziness
• POTS
• Stiffness
• Constant tension
Compression injuries to a person’s head, such as falling on your head or having something fall on your head, can cause forward head posture.
Tailbone injuries and whiplash injuries can also cause forward head posture. Even sitting behind a desk at a computer for long periods can lead to this issue.
How to fix forward head posture:
1. The Jefferson curl
Step 1. Curl your head forward as much as possible
Step 2. Curl your mid-back forward and start to touch your toes, bending your lower back
Step 3. Over time, hold weights to help increase the flexibility and strength of your spine
2. Use a cervical traction device
• Use this device about a half hour before bed for 5 to 10 minutes
3. Do neck strengthening exercises
• Get on all fours and do extension-type exercises
• Get on your back and do flexion-type exercises

[@lalabyelulu4021]

The C curve neck is responsible for so many functions and once you lose it, it can become a disease process if not reversed. I have successfully reversed mine through diligent exercises, traction, strengthening, and working on posture. I had a tailbone injury as a kid falling down the stairs and knocking the wind out of me, whiplash from car accident as a teenager and a head forward posture from my job as an adult. Add to that i'm very tall and lanky, weak connective tissue and developed cervical radiculopathy, stenosis, pinched nerve, elevated heart rate, insomnia, gastroparesis, brain fog, anxiety, and lost the use of my hands with searing burning pain, could not make fist, or turn my head, for about four years at the end of it. No wonder they call it "the arc of life." it really is because now that I have gotten my curve back, I have gotten my life back. I could barely move and function. It's possible if anyone is struggling. After my doctor saw my x-ray (arthritis at every level in the neck, military straight, bone spurs in the front) he said it was inevitable and from the aging process. I didn't accept that and went to work. The hard part was figuring out all the symptoms originated from the neck, and the process of reversal relieved my symptoms almost immediately when I started teh work on my neck.

[@vincentvega3747]

Glad to hear. Did you verify thru an x-ray that you got your curve back? I am going thru something very similar. How long did it take for you to feel a difference? If possible would it be OK with you if we could talk for a bit? Thx you very much for sharing your story.

[@lalabyelulu4021]

@@vincentvega3747 Sure. It took the better part of a year, but the last three months have been the game changer because I can finally look down for long periods of time without recreating symptoms. I noticed an improvement right away in some of the symptoms like the hand pain, but the neck did get worse for awhile because the therapy caused a lot of inflammation. My neck was basically cement. That was last year around this time. But I have full motion now, no neck pain or flares and the above symptoms are gone aside from some hand tingling and numbness occasionally. I also changed my diet adding animal protein and fat, cutting out all sugar to give it the best healing. Unfortunately my doc will not give an after x-ray because of the radiation risk, but I look better visually as far as posture goes. I don't have a dip at the bottom of the C spine anymore and I have built up the ligament and muscles around it so I no longer look slumped over and can hold my head up. Also my jaw mechanics are back to normal (I had the TMJ dysfunction/locked jaw), and tinnitus is gone; so this confirms in my mind that I have the correct mechanics even without x-ray. Hope this helps.

Interesting. I was taught that a forward head posture was the result of neck extensors that are too long and stretched and short and tight neck flexors. That the extensors needed to be strengthend and the flexors needed to be stretched in order to correct this. With forward rounded shoulders (which you often see with forward head posture) I recommend stretching the pecs and the anterior deltoids while strengthening the middle trapezium.

[@andresmontana4466]

Absolutely agree. I like this guy but I don't agree with his rounding of the back stretching at all. Any rounding or arching under weight can cause terrible injury which is why deadlifters or squatters in training under load will sometimes use back braces.

In a judo fight, my partner made me kataguruma and let me fall on the head. I have been nearly tetraplegic. And now changing diet and getting better performances thanks to partly your teachings is great. DL (Frenchman)

Wow. Thanks for sharing.

I was a competitive figure skater as an adult, many falls, tailbone, head injuries. car accidents, work injuries. Chronic neck issues. Seeing a Chiropractor, have neck strengthening exercises to do. But I really appreciate this video, it is so helpful! I am going to add all of these to my day.

Good to see you recommending Jefferson curl.

For me: I had a car accident in my teens, thankfully it wasn't serious for me, as I haven't had head injuries, only the glass shattered on my arms, which they recovered later, but it was frightening as hell, and I did feel this sense of dizziness as I left the car, which almost turned upside down, but luckily balanced back in the last second, and I managed to open the door and escape, as a car hit us from the side, on my way to school, unfortunately for the poor driver; who was in a senior age, and hit his head on the glass, his face was covered all over with blood, and he lost consciousness, part of the reasons why I was screaming in terror at that moment 😅 thinking that he's dead, luckily he woke up in hospital later. but after that he was more like depressed and had back probs, and eventually quit working because of his health conditions, and returning to posture: I think I had a bad one in my teen days, yet when I ask my husband if I still have this prob now he says it's fine. Thanks for the info Dr Berg 😊

What is the correct exercise when you’re in a car accident where you’re hit from behind that forces you to then hit the car in front of you? I ended up getting whiplash, but didn’t get it treated. This happened a long time ago and I’ve had chronic neck issues since, including a reverse curve.

Was snowboarding in Utah and flew 20 ft upside down into parking lot landed on my neck and back. 20 years of issues but am an avid yoga practioner and athlete so was able to deal with it. However it caught up to me recently and have been doing PRP/ prolotherapy for 1.5 years which has helped tremendously. This video helps too thank you!

[@wildhorses267]

I can't beleive this, all these yrs of suffering I would have never related to a horse accident that injured my tailbone Please keep making us video's you are brilliant!!!! THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS

[@suzieb4900]

First and foremost, thank you very sincerely much Dr. Berg for all of your content. It is so very much appreciated! Question: Are these same methods also good for a hump at the base of the neck/ middle-upper shoulder area? Or is that something completely different? Thanks so much 💗🤗

[@Batoooll]

I was in such a need of this video and I was anxiously waiting Dr Berg's suggestion on this Thanks for making this❤️ My posture was very good before 2,3 years but after doing an office job and sitting in front of a computer I found it a little bad now... Hope it will help✔️✨

[@experimenthealthyketo83]

He also made earlier videos on the situations you mentioning, providing other tips, if you need them. I was just using them yesterday with great success right before bedtime…

Doctor Eric is a lifesaver

[@Apr1cotBunny]

That was really helpful, much appreciated 👏🏼

[@Drberg]

You're most welcome.

[@anon9362]

Thank you, Dr Berg. Is it possible to have this condition and not have any pain or symptoms? I've thought for a long time that my neck goes forward, but I don't seem to have any of the associated issues.

[@experimenthealthyketo83]

Yes, it’s possible.

[@anon9362]

@@experimenthealthyketo83 Thank you.

[@Galileo9.81]

Thank you very much for such an invaluable information we all need and practice.

[@Sealdeam]

I got into a nasty crash when I was a child and I have come to belive plenty of my current physical problems come from it coupled with bad habits that I have been doing for decades now, just now I am feeling the consequences and it is scary but it is time to use that fear for something useful to myself and maybe be an example from now onwards of what to do and not of what to avoid, you videos have been of great help Dr. Berg, thanks.

[@benjamin9615]

Thank you Dr Berg, this is great!

[@jamey6236]

Doc, you are a gift to us all.

[@dorothytilden2644]

I’m 84 I tried it and I definitely noticed a difference.I will continue to do it.I’m talking about neck hump.Thank you

[@LeyvaJetLife]

Another gem Dr.!!!

[@andrewfeller9277]

Cervical traction device, Neck Hammock, has dramatically improved my QOL. Old compression head/neck injury. Too many benefits to list. Clarity, sweet clarity.

[@joanneb3935]

I have had ALL of these things happen to me! X-ray showed my head forward like that. Thanks for this video!

[@napfreedom2153]

I had a tailbone injury about 6 years ago. Now I have arthritis in neck, shoulders, hip, and back. Been going to chiropractor for 6 months now. Helping alot, your videps will help even more.

[@honglianjin9706]

My 👀 got BIG when you mentioned tailbone injury! Once again Dr Berg you gave me an answer for headache, neck tension, upper and lower back pain.

[@vas4739]

Dr B …. Absolutely no injuries however 38 years at a desk job creating a straight neck. Bad pain in neck/shoulders so I don’t let anyone touch or massage that area. Also had carpal tunnel in both wrists. Neck pain would travel down through T3&4. At a gym they gave me traction while sitting up- was wonderful! Was taught neck stretches-helps tremendously. I push my chin down to my chest while trying to hold my neck up. After about 45 minutes the pain (like a vicious migraine up back of my skull) subsides.
