Text neck, or forward head posture, can lead to headaches, tinnitus, shoulder and back pain, limited range of motion, and in severe cases a herniated disc and arthritis. The terrible part is, this neck pain is often purely self-inflicted from bad habits. Worse than that, some of us have become locked into misalignment and are going about finding relief in all the wrong places.
I am going to show you how to lengthen the front body so you can find relief in the back body.
Part 1 of this series is in the video below. I show you how to find your tight spots. Then we release them through self-massage and a series of stretches that require nothing more than a wall, a kitchen sink (or park bench, etc), and a blanket or two. Do these regularly and you may be ready for Part 2.
If you decide to go deep into self-massage, here are some props to help you. I will be posting many massage and fascial release exercises and Tune Up Fitness Therapy Balls will definitely be used.
Part 2 focuses on deeper stretches so we can move the bones into proper alignment. If you start to strengthen around misaligned bones you may well create a whole new set of problems, mostly in the form of joint pain. So spending time to get the bones in their proper places is an absolutely critical part of this process.
In Part 3 we begin to strengthen the back of the body so that you can easily stand in correct alignment and FINALLY be free of your text neck. Hallelujah!
Now, at the risk of stating the super obvious - if you don't stop the bad habits that create the problem, this process will be long, frustrating, and possibly futile.
