Forward Head Syndrome

Forward Head Syndrome, also known as Forward Head Posture (FHP), is a common postural issue where the head is positioned forward of the body's center of gravity. This misalignment often results from prolonged periods of poor posture, particularly during activities like using computers, smartphones, or other devices.

  1. -Prolonged Use of Electronic Devices: Staring down at screens for extended periods can lead to FHP.
  2. -Poor Ergonomics: Incorrect desk or workstation setup can contribute to poor posture.
  3. -Sedentary Lifestyle: Lack of movement and exercise can weaken the muscles that support good posture.
  4. -Injury or Trauma: Past injuries, such as whiplash, can lead to FHP if not properly treated.
  1. -Neck Pain: Constant strain on the neck muscles can lead to pain and discomfort.
  2. -Headaches: Tension in the neck and shoulders can cause headaches.
  3. -Shoulder Pain: Forward head posture can lead to rounded shoulders, causing pain and tension.
  4. -Upper Back Pain: The muscles of the upper back can become overworked and sore.
  5. -Reduced Mobility: Decreased range of motion in the neck and shoulders.
  6. -Impaired Breathing: Poor posture can compress the chest and affect breathing efficiency.
