This before-and-after image from a Rolfing® session demonstrates a notable improvement in my client’s head alignment atop his shoulder girdle. According to established guidelines, every inch of forward head posture increases spinal pressure by approximately ten pounds, potentially causing the cervical spine to support double the weight of the head or more. My client’s lateral line is visibly improved with less flexion in his thighs as his head returns to a more optimal position. Forward head posture may reduce lung capacity by restricting elevation of the first rib during inhalation, and it can contribute to premature degeneration of intervertebral joints. Rolfing® empowers clients to become aware of their postural habits outside of sessions, providing them with strategies to support lasting integration.
