Why Mom Posture Develops In The First Place
Bad posture is a result of staying in a suboptimal position for prolonged periods of time. One of the most common examples is sitting which changes the alignment of the neck, upper back, and lower back
Forward head posture is often caused by
– Constantly looking down while you’re breastfeeding. – Constantly looking down at your phone.
– Neck pain – Upper back pain – Shoulder pain, and/or – Cervical spine arthritis
You need to strengthen the muscles in the front of your neck, aka the cervical flexors and you need to stretch and lengthen the muscles in the back of the neck.
Chin tucks are the best way to strengthen the muscles of the anterior neck.
