Forward head syndrome is a postural issue where the head is positioned in front of the shoulders, which can be caused by prolonged use of electronic devices like smartphones and computers. This condition increases strain on the neck and can lead to symptoms like neck pain, headaches, and upper back tension.

Treatment often involves exercises and stretches, correcting posture while using screens, and adjusting your workstation to maintain a neutral spine.

What it is

Poor posture: Forward head syndrome, also known as forward head posture (FHP) or text neck, occurs when your head juts forward instead of sitting directly above your shoulders.
Increased strain: For every 2.5 cm your head moves forward, the pressure on your neck muscles doubles, like holding a bowling ball out in front of you instead of close to your body.

Causes

Technology use: Hunching over smartphones, tablets, and computers for long periods is a major cause.
Poor ergonomics: Slouching at a desk or using a workstation that is not set up ergonomically.
Other factors: Certain professions that require looking down for extended periods, such as dentists, surgeons, and hairdressers.

Symptoms

Neck and upper back pain: This can range from general soreness to sharp pain.
Headaches: Pain that often originates from the neck.
Stiffness and reduced mobility: The neck muscles can become tight and less able to move freely.
Tension: A feeling of tightness in the shoulders and upper back.
Nerve pain: In severe cases, pain can radiate from the neck to the shoulders and arms (cervical radiculopathy).

How to fix it

Improve your workstation:
Position your computer screen at eye level.
Adjust your chair so your feet are flat on the floor and your knees are slightly lower than your hips.
Keep your keyboard and mouse within easy reach.
Be mindful of your phone use: Avoid cradling your phone between your ear and shoulder.
Take regular breaks: Get up, move around, and stretch every 30 minutes to break poor postural habits.

Strengthen and stretch:

Perform stretches to lengthen the back of your neck.
Perform exercises to strengthen the muscles in the front of your neck and between your shoulder

This treatment is available in many countries now. I’m not sure about Australia. Have you ever heard of this treatment?

Germany has developed a cartilage-regrowth gel called ChondroFiller a collagen-based treatment created in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute. According to The Doctorpreneur Academy, it’s been available since 2013, and over 20,000 patients worldwide have received it. It only requires minimally invasive keyhole surgery, where the gel is applied directly to damaged cartilage.

The gel works by mimicking the extracellular matrix, creating a scaffold that encourages the body to regenerate cartilage naturally. According to PolyEyes, it reduces inflammation and stimulates new cartilage growth, offering a promising alternative to implants or full joint replacement.

The small hands I once held and protected with all my heart… are now the hands that heal me.🥰

My son arrived home last night after 10 months of work in Port Hedland.
The very first thing he did this morning was give his mumma a massage

Gentle yet firm—his touch always heals me ❤️
So talented, every movement filled with magic and comfort ✨

I only wish he would take massage as a career one day… his gift is truly special.

He has finished diploma of medical massage In Thailand about 10 years ago but only massage his mum. Not confident to see client— I guess .

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤?

I see clients every week who say,
“I stretch. I rest. I’ve tried massages, physios, even doctors… but the pain still comes back.”

Here’s something most people aren’t told:

𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐬.

-It doesn’t always show up on scans.

-And it’s not always caused by the muscle you think it is.

𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦, 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦, 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐩.

I know this—not just because I’ve studied it, but because I’ve lived it.

There was a time I carried hidden inflammation that left me feeling exhausted, foggy, unable to sleep, and stiff. My doctor said my bloods were “okay,” but I knew something wasn’t right. So I listened to my body and made daily changes—movement, lifestyle, nutrients, nervous system support.
And slowly… I healed.

Then I sprained my ankle. It didn’t seem like a big deal, so I kept walking on it. But a few weeks later, my posture shifted. My foot pointed outward. I was compensating without realising it.

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬—𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐲𝐬𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

I caught it early—because this is what I do every day.
But what if I hadn’t?
That one small injury could’ve changed my whole alignment… and with it, my quality of life.

That’s why massage alone isn’t enough.

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬—𝐈 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦.

𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝, 𝐨𝐫 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤, 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐩.
𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤.
𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫—𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲.
