A client consistently initiates spinal flexion in the upper cervical spine during the Spine Stretch Forward. Which specific postural deviation, often linked to this compensation, indicates an imbalance in the relationship between the head and thoracic spine?

The specific postural deviation often linked to a client consistently initiating spinal flexion in the upper cervical spine during the Spine Stretch Forward is Forward Head Posture. This posture is characterized by the head being positioned anterior, or forward, relative to the shoulders, meaning the earlobes align in front of the acromion, which is the bony point of the shoulder. This indicates an imbalance where the normal S-curve relationship between th....
