Addressing Forward Head Posture
Forward Head Posture (FHP) changes our ability to breathe deeply. Both the trachea and the rib cage are compromised, interfering with optimal breathing. All of our time on smartphones, computer screens, and tablets exacerbate FHP.
The good news is that there are interventions to decrease FHP, which can reduce neck pain and improve breathing.
Posture and Breathing–What’s the Connection
Good posture is not subjective or a reflection of your character. Good posture refers to the body's alignment in a way that minimizes strain on muscles and ligaments. It involves maintaining a neutral spine position, where the back's natural curves are preserved.
Good posture is built from the bottom up, starting with the pelvis.
Stress Management Through Breathing
Stress can seem like a constant companion, and eliminating outside triggers is not always an option. The good news is that one of the most effective stress-reducing tools is always accessible—the breath. Simple and effective breathing techniques can activate the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), which can calm the mind, help manage stress, and enhance overall well-being.
