occupational and recreational habits have led to real pains in the neck. tension and poor posture rank high as the most common pain generators. our health expert karen owoc is here to tell us how to fight the aching forces of gravity. forward head posture (fhp) one of the most common postural problems is forward head posture - for both young and old. your head should sit directly on your neck and shoulders. think of a golf ball on a tee. but the head is more like a bowling ball (about 10 to 11 lbs) than a golf ball. when you're holding

your head forward (out of alignment), you are putting strain on your neck, shoulders, and upper back muscles. the result: muscle fatigue and an aching neck carrying your head is an isometric contraction - you're actually "strength training". an isometric exercise is a static hold where the joint angle and muscle length does not change during the muscle contraction. your neck and shoulders have to carry the burden of this "bowling ball" all day. supporting and moving the human head is a challenging and tiring task. perfect posture: the ears line up over your shoulder blades. poor posture: along with forward head posture, the shoulders also "round" and roll forward. causes of forward head posture repetitive use of computers, tv, video games, trauma, and even backpacks have forced the body forward. forward head posture is also known as:

text neck, computer/notebook neck sofa necbook or reader's neck driver's neck the 40-pound headstudies show that for every inch of forward head posture, it can increase the weight of your head by an additional 10 pounds.if your head has migrated forward of your shoulders by 3 inches, you are adding an additional 30 pounds of abnormal leverage on your cervical spine - that's a total of 40 pounds of weight on your neck! your entire spine becomes out of alignment.symptoms of forward head posture forward head posture causes a number of chronic health problems: chronic pain in neck, shoulders, upper/lower/mid back 30% reduction in lung capacity mouth breathing fibromyalgia fatigue reduced range of motion muscle spasms arthritis headaches/migraines poor sleep numbness/tingling in hands/arms treatment

postural exercises - strengthen muscles between the shoulder blades (retract shoulder blades) and expand (stretch) pectoral muscles release tight muscles in neck with a massage ball (tennis ball in a sock) for 5 minutes. don't sleep on a stack of pillows. correct daily habits (computer, driving, phone, etc.) avoid carrying heavy purses and backpacks stretch last 2 minutes of every 1/2 hour. do chin retractionsthe takeaway: when you're standing, watch where your thumbs are pointed - pointed forward or toward the midline of your body? january 21st is squirrel appreciation day.

occupational and recreational habits have led to real pains in the neck. tension and poor posture rank high as the most common pain generators. our

health expert karen owoc is here to tell us how to fight the aching forces of gravity. forward head posture (fhp) one of the most common postural problems is forward head posture - for both young and old. your head should sit directly on your neck and shoulders. think of a golf ball on a tee. but the head is more like a bowling ball (about 10 to 11 lbs) than a golf ball. when you're holding your head forward (out of alignment), you are putting strain on your neck, shoulders, and upper back muscles. the result: muscle fatigue and an aching neck carrying your head is an isometric contraction - you're actually "strength training". an isometric exercise is a static hold where the joint angle and muscle length does not change during the muscle contraction. your neck and shoulders have to carry the burden of this "bowling ball" all day. supporting and moving the human head is a

challenging and tiring task. perfect posture: the ears line up over your shoulder blades. poor posture: along with forward head posture, the shoulders also "round" and roll forward. causes of forward head posture repetitive use of computers, tv, video games, trauma, and even backpacks have forced the body forward. forward head posture is also known as: text neck, computer/notebook neck sofa neck book or reader's neck driver's neck the 40-pound headstudies show that for every inch of forward head posture, it can increase the weight of your head by an additional 10 pounds.if your head has migrated forward of your shoulders by 3 inches, you are adding an additional 30 pounds of abnormal leverage on your cervical spine - that's a total of 40 pounds of weight on your neck! your entire spine becomes out of alignment.symptoms of forward

head posture forward head posture causes a number of chronic health problems: chronic pain in neck, shoulders, upper/lower/mid back 30% reduction in lung capacity mouth breathing fibromyalgia fatigue reduced range of motion muscle spasms arthritis headaches/migraines poor sleep numbness/tingling in hands/arms treatment postural exercises - strengthen muscles between the shoulder blades (retract shoulder blades) and expand (stretch) pectoral muscles release tight muscles in neck with a massage ball (tennis ball in a sock) for 5 minutes. don't sleep on a stack of pillows. correct daily habits (computer, driving, phone, etc.) avoid carrying heavy purses and backpacks stretch last 2 minutes of every 1/2 hour. do chin retractionsthe takeaway: when you're standing, watch where your thumbs are pointed - pointed

landfall here near mexico beach -- with winds as strong as 155 miles per hour. mexico beach mayor al cathey: "i've never seen anything like this." city officials believe up to two hundred eighty residents stayed behind to ride out the storm. their message for those who evacuated --florida state fire marshal jimmy petronis: "stay there. there is no need to rush back, because if you do get hurt while you're here, it's going to be a challenge for us to administer any type of life-saving services"70 miles north of mexico beach is jackson county-- where officials say they've gotten thousands of calls for food and water. gov. rick scott -r- florida: "we put down fuel water food in all the impacted areas // we have six locations where we're we're distributing food and water."and in panama city, people were returning back for the first time but as you can see, they weren't returning back to much. walls collapsed and trying to peice back together what little they may have had left. at times even risking their lives trying to get back in and see what the damage behind done from hurricane michael was and here in mexico beach. bits of people's lives still lying in the rubble as part of a day that is going to see more search and rescue. florida
