Each day we all walk around with a bowling ball (our\nhead) balancing on a toothpick (our neck). We are designed this way to allow\nfor the full range of motion we all know and love. Even under the best\ncircumstances, this places a lot of stress on our spine. But leaning forward\neven just 15 degrees pushes that weight up to 13kg, and with a 30 degree tilt\nits closer to 18kg! &nbsp;(That\u2019s 5 bowling\nballs on top of neck!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why it Matters:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Driving a car,\nworking on the computer, and using a tablet\/phone all usually result in less\nthan ideal posture. And when you start to lean forward, it places a tremendous\namount of extra pressure on the discs in your neck and spine. This can cause\nincreased compression and lead to pain. Even just a few inches of forward head\nposture can double or triple the amount of stress on the spinal joints in your\nneck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The average human head weights\napproximately 3.6-4.5kg.<\/li><li>For every 2.5cm of forward head\nposture, an additional 4.5kg of weight is added to your spine.<\/li><li>Forward head posture may result in\nmuscle imbalances, a high risk for spinal degeneration, reduced range of\nmotion, and pain.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Next Steps: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a moment\ntoday at work and notice if your shoulders are rounding, the head has moved\nforward, and upper back is hunched over. If you see yourself slouching into\nthis posture, let us know. We would love to provide you with some exercises you\ncan do at work to help strengthen the muscles supporting your spine and combat\nthese muscle imbalances. And remember, the more time you spend in this posture,\nthe more likely you are to suffer head and neck pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Science Source(s): <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Physiology of\nthe Joints, Volume III. 6th ed.
