Anterior Head Carriage - What is it & How to Fix it

https://Theiss.Care Anterior head carriage. It occurs when our head moves forward in relation to normal body alignment. With our sternum up and scapula back our heads should be centered over our hips with our ears falling in line with the center of our shoulders. All other positions cause increased stress on our spines and the muscles surrounding it. On average the human head weights an impressive 14 pounds alone, not including the weight of our necks. With our necks easily we can be over 20 pounds. For every one inch our heads moves forward, out of alignment, our spine and the muscles surrounding it, gain an additional 10 pounds of added stress due to gravitational forces downwards. So, if you simply have a 2 inch Anterior Head Carriage the stress and force applied to our bones and the muscles of our neck and upper back is over 34+ pounds. Remember, this doesn’t include the weight of our necks. Anterior Head Carriage causes structural damage, pain and discomfort in our upper backs and necks. Tension type headaches are also associated with this destructive posture. What causes anterior head carriage? any situation that causes us to lean forward for an extended period of time like working on our computer, or simply standing or walking with our head down, sternum dropped and our shoulders rounded forward. Anterior head carriage begins to structurally change the shape of our necks and our spines by reshaping our bones and weakening the muscles that support our living. Also, keep in mind, that we have a natural curve in our spine in our necks. As our head leans forward – this curve straightens out and here we go; pain, discomfort, and earlier degeneration of our spines. So what do you do? Straighten up you kids!!! literally… so let’s look at how much we need to straighten up. Stand with your back and heals against a wall and measure the space between the back of your head and the wall itself. If your head is centered over your body you will have very little space if any. To be more accurate the center of your ear should line up over the center of your acromum where the Supraspinatus muscle inserts at the greater tubercle of the humerus bone. Take a level and find the true center of your shoulder. Once this line is established the center of your ear should line up right over your shoulder where the Supraspinatus inserts at the greater tubercle of the humerus bone. The amount of your ear in front of this line, indicates the amount of Anterior Head Carriage you have. If you find you do have Anterior Head Carriage work on correcting this by doing head retractions periodically throughout the day. While sitting upright move your head backwards without extending or flexing your neck. Think of it as giving yourself a double chin. Initially this will feel very awkward but over time you will become more comfortable with it and you will start to feel what position your head should be in. Do this every hour 10 times. After double chin session, raise your sterum up, retract your scapula, pull your humerous bone in your arms backward and contract your traps and rhombods and hold this ascending rapture pose for 20 to 30 seconds then relax for 30 second and repeat 3 to 5 times. If you ever experience any abnormal symptoms or excessive pain do not perform them and get evaluated by a doctor. As always… be safe out there and God Bless.
