Is your posture giving you a headache?

The relationship of poor posture and neck and head pain is one of intimacy. Muscles that connect between the shoulder blades, the neck and base of the skull are responsible for how we hold our shoulders, good or bad!
Sitting slumped in a shoulder forward position at a computer all day can result in the shoulder blades being positioned forward and downward sloping. This puts these connecting muscles in a state of tension which intern restricts the natural movement of the neck joints and head movements.
Alternatively sitting stiff and upright whilst 'pinching' the shoulder blades together can also result in abnormally positioned shoulder blades which will affect the connecting muscles.
A postural assessment and necessary correction will help significantly in managing and solving, long term neck pain and headaches.
