What is the reason why the neck leans forward? The occurrence of head tilt is caused by changes in living and working habits, body posture and muscle joints.
When the head leans forward, that is, when the head is in front of the shoulder, not only the posture and temperament are not beautiful, but also the joint muscles are greatly affected. Our heads are about the size and weight of bowling balls. At this time, the load of the atlanto-occipital joint and even the whole cervical vertebra is greatly increased. When we usually play with our heads down, the load on the cervical spine can even reach 27 kg! It is equivalent to hanging three big watermelons on the cervical spine!
After the head leans forward, the muscles behind the cervical spine are in a state of stretching weakness. After this muscle balance is destroyed, our habits and action patterns will also change quietly.
We will get used to bow our heads forward and shrink back, but this is uncomfortable; When we do actions, we will unconsciously shrug our shoulders and overuse our already tense muscles, making the weak weaker.

Method 2: Lie flat on the mattress and put the pillow on your back to prevent the head from sinking back. This posture tends to make the head uncomfortable.
Method 3: Stand up straight against the wall, let your head, shoulders, hands and feet sink, lean your heel against the wall at nine o'clock, and keep your head slightly tilted for ten minutes twice a day, which will have unexpected effects.

Try to lie flat when sleeping, don't pillow, usually do the action of holding your head with your hands, and stand on the wall upstairs. These actions will often subtly change your present appearance.
