The postural root of many headaches is the forward head position. In this position, the shoulders are rounded, the upper back is curved, and the muscles in the back and neck are tense. The first sign of a headache is often a tightening of the shoulders and neck. This contraction causes a reduction of blood flow to the vessels of the head, resulting in a headache.
If you're experiencing a headache, try stretching your shoulders and neck. Interlace your fingers behind your back, pull your arms up to the ceiling, and relax your head down to the floor. Or hang forward from the waist with bent knees and hold opposite elbows.
Above all, be aware of your posture in daily activities. Move your head back, roll your shoulders down, and stand tall and proud. Not only will your headaches melt away, but you'll feel more confident, alert, and proud.
