Forward Head Posture
“Here’s What You Need To Know About Forward Head Posture”
Over the past few weeks we have discussed something called postural collapse and a specific postural distortion pattern referred to as forward head posture (FHP).
And as promised, today I am going to tell you what you absolutely need to know about FHP.
And what you absolutely need to know are the devastating consequences that FHP can have on your health all of which have been determined by scientific research.
