How Forward Head Posture Affects Your Gait and Posture Control
It's no mistake I talk about posture a lot at my clinic, our health workshops are called STAND corrected and every new patient gets a postural analysis before I even touch the patient
Why?
Will this study give you some insight?
A recent study just out in October 2022, found the following
People with forward head posture had SIGNIFICANT alterations in limits of stability , performance-based balance and cervical proprioception
Balance changes over time, we get older, we may put on some kilos over Christmas or we have slackened off and not exercised enough
Everyone’s optimal posture is going to be different
BUT
Chiropractic is a great tool for helping re-align the spine, relaxing the muscles and activating better motion to allow the posture to improve over time
Who doesn't want better stability? Balance? And proprioception?
