Causes Of Forward Head Posture
“Burlington Chiropractor Discusses Causes Of Forward Head Posture”
Over the past few weeks we have learned about a postural distortion pattern called ‘forward head posture’ (FHP) and the negative effects it can have on your health.
According to the American Posture Institute, 60 to 90% of adults and 34% of school-aged children have this condition.
And as promised last time, today we are going to learn what causes FHP.

But the 2 main silent causes (silent causes are by far the most dangerous type with any health condition) are texting on a cell phone and sitting at a computer.
It is estimated that 46% of 3rd graders and 90% of 9th graders exceed their daily 2 hour screen-time limit.
And when you add in an average of 2-4 hours of cell phone texting per day, it is no surprise how advances in modern technology have created postural declines in our society.
