Hello, The forward head posture could be because of uppercrossed syndrome where there will be shortness of upper chest and neck extensors and lengthening of neck flexors and upper back extensors.


my strong recommendation is to see an efficient physiotherapist.
by treating the muscle imbalance the problem could be solved. in some patients tapping technique also works.


once the muscle imbalance is corrected you should be careful regarding your posture all the time to prevent recurrence.physiotherapist will be assesing you to find out the cause and will try to treat the cause.
This forward head posture could because of a number of causes like the problems in any other part of the spine or even the hip,knee or ankle.
I have forward head posture that is causing jaw pain, as the mandible is being pulled back and in while the head extends forward.

I also have forward, rounded shoulders which are contributing to the head being pushed forward.


I have been to a chiropractor for treatment, and she was successful in treating sublaxations in the lower back.


I would however like to get assistance in corecting my overall posture including the forward head posture and rounded shoulders which are causing the most distress.


Can anybody advise on the course of care i should be seeking. Is this something I should be seeking assistance from in a chiropractor or physiotherapist? or something else?


Also, if somebody can suggest a good practise i would be greatful.
I am in Melbourne, Australia.
