How Forward Head Posture Damages Head, Neck, & TMJ - Dr Mandell

Forward head posture is destructive and must be corrected as early as possible, or the degenerative changes will not be irreversible.

Thank you for all you do Dr. Mandell! I have a good report for you on forward head posture. I have been working hard for nearly a month to correct forward head posture after watching your videos. As a massage therapist for the past ten years I leaned over people working and my head was always jutting forward. It created a big problem, but I didn't know what to do about it until I watched your videos. So... after consistent hard work for nearly a month my chest muscles have strengthened and I am able to hold my posture pretty good now without straining. I am seeing improvement already in the bone in the back of my neck and the positioning of my head going back into alignment. Someone came over today and the first thing she said to me was... your posture is so straight what have you been doing?! I now have her watching your videos and getting help as well. Just wanted to give you a good report and say thank you! Keep up the good work! We are watching, learning and benefiting! God bless you! Heidi Lynn...

My wife is having the same symptoms right now...jaw pain, neck pain, ear ache, ringing in ear and she was being treated for ear infection with little benefit in last 5 days. I know now that her posture was the problem...like you described. Thanks a lot Doc ! i am better informed now and we will deal it your way :)

Did know about this until 2 days ago! I thought it was a misalignment to my teeth, sleep apnea issues, neck issues, etc. had headaches everyday for 2 years. I got braces again and it did help the jaw a bit, but would get headaches once in a while. Now I know it’s my posture, and will definitely get this fix! This video is very informative! Thanks!

God, this is a great video. Thank you. I have ALL these issues. Your videos are helping me

Perfect timing. I've been dealing with this problem. I've had poping and mild ear pain, went to the doctor and it has nothing to do with my ears but was because of my jaw and tightness in my neck and traps. Stretching the traps and SCM helps some but hasn't fixed the problem. I want to try your jaw exercises in hopes they help

TMJD. TMJ is the joint, not the condition :) Craniosacral Therapy is another great, gentle & effective treatment option. Not many know about this bodywork modality in the US yet. Thanks for this awesome video!

Dr. Mandell please make a video about craniocervical instability. I was recently diagnosed with a severe case after suffering for many years. I'm seeing a doctor, but I would love people to know how it can affect the whole body and the cerebellum. Also, it can be hard to get diagnised with this if you don't have EDS. I hope you can make the video. Thank you for all the good knowledge you always share in your videos.

Great video Dr.Mandell! Can forward head posture cause your pelvis to be out of alignment?
