Chiropractor Fanwood Says Thoracic Mobilization Benefits Those with Forward Head Posture

Thoracic Mobilization Benefits Those with Forward Head Posture

When the head normally rests forwards of the shoulders, it places added strain on the muscles in the neck and upper back.

In this study, researchers found that patients with forward head posture who received upper thoracic spinal mobilization experienced improvements in cervical posture, cervical extension, pain, function, and perceived disability.

The research team advises that clinicians should consider this when determining treatment options for patients with forward head posture.
