Posture Check

Your posture might be causing headaches

Many tension headaches start from poor posture. When forward head posture over-tensions the back neck muscles, headaches starting from the back of the head can occur.

Posture Causes

When your head is forward of your shoulders, the back neck muscles must support the head's weight (~5kg). This tension compresses occipital nerves, causing headaches from the back of the head. Shoulder asymmetry can over-tension one side of neck muscles, leading to migraines.
