Your head weighs about as much as a bowling ball, and if it’s pushed forward from where it should be, your brain is working overtime just to keep you upright. Researchers recently showed this using advanced brain scans, and the results reveal how posture impacts your brain more than you might think.

In this video I’ll break down what forward head posture really does to your neck, muscles, and even your brain function. You’ll see how something as simple as leaning forward on your phone or computer changes the way your brain communicates with your body.

The study I share measured how hard the brain has to work during balance tasks, and the difference between normal posture and forward head posture was dramatic. People with their heads pushed forward weren’t in pain, but their brains were under constant strain—burning energy that should have been used for focus, problem-solving, and clarity.

What does this mean for you, and more importantly, what can you do about it? That’s exactly what we’ll cover. Watch until the end, because I’ll also share how improving posture can free up brain power and help you feel sharper and more balanced in daily life.

And if you’d like personal help correcting your posture and boosting your energy, I’ve included a link below where we can meet for a Posture and Mobility Assessment on Zoom.
