Post subject: | Improving one's posture. |
I noticed over the last year or so that my posture had begun to gradually falter. After a little research online I determined that I was suffering from "forward head". Not a severe case, christ I hadn't quite reached Quasimodo levels just yet, but I had noticed tension across my back and a slight jutting forward of my head. So after researching the condition online and watching videos on correcting forward head posture, I decided upon on a few exercises that felt to be doing the trick. And now after only a few months the change has been quite remarkable. The tension and ache that was sometimes present between my shoulder blades has disappeared. My head now sits directly over my shoulders and the pain that I sometimes experienced in my neck when sitting at a table and focusing on something down in front of me has gone. I really do feel to be walking taller, plus I'm no longer conscious of my head jutting forward of my shoulders. Just a few simple exercises have made the word of difference. I've even begun to insist that my brother follow the same regime as it's had such a profound impact on my wellbeing. |

This is interesting to me. A couple of years ago I started getting a tight, uncorfortable (not painful) feeling in my upper back. Constantly felt like it needed cracking. Over time it has eased slightly and I can make my spine crack easily. I think it may have something to do with my posture. I am very broad across my shoulders/upper back and it feels like the tension is forcing my head forward and downwards. If I catch a glimpse of myself side on in a room with a lot of mirrors I've noticed this appears to be the case. I try to stand and walk with my head more upright and shoulders back but this feels slightly uncomfortable to me and I find my head gradually going back downwards. Could you provide a link to the page you got the tips from? |

Its all very interesting. I had to renew my driving licence photo last December and decided to do it at the Post Office in their special little booth at the counter - you stand in it, draw the curtains and people in the queue stare and wonder what the hell you're doing in there that needs you and the person behind the counter to be hidden behind a curtain. Anyway - they get you to stand in front of the camera and then align you EXACTLY straight, the guy looking at the computer monitor kept telling me I was leaning to the left, but I wasn't, or at least I didn't think I was, and by the time he told me that I was now standing straight according to the computer, I felt like the leaning tower of Pisa. Anyway, I know what gives me this stoop, its the Nationwide Building Society, HMRC, and this woman who claims to be legally bound to my income these past 29 years. |
