Low Back Head Games

Send to friendSend to friend
A blasphemous fact about poor posture is that, for a while, it is necessary and can work quite well! Crooked bodies can putter along satisfactorily for decades.
 
Our musculo-skeletal systems are loaded with head to toe compensatory capacities allowing a spinal twist here, and a pelvic tilt there.
 
 But our luck does run out....
A BIG area of postural compensation in the body is THE HEAD.
All of our skeletal twists and bends are accommodated by puppeteering the head (via neck muscles) to keep our eyes’ horizon straight. This is very useful “bad posture” with far-reaching consequences.
 
The problems of such Head Games come in the form of hamstring tightness and back pain.
 
 
Do you Have a Chronic Hamstring Problem?
How about Low Back Pain that stubbornly returns after low back treatment?
  • Well, you probably have a crooked head problem as well. Think of your head as a twenty pound weight. Tipped to one side, we create an asymmetrical load which the lower body (i.e. low back and hamstrings) must relentlessly counterbalance.
 
Here is a head check for you: Look at your face carefully in the mirror and see which Earlobe is lower than the other. The head is tilted toward the side of the lower ear lobe.
 
The Solution to your back and hamstring problems is getting into your head– via the neck!
To really untangle chronic hamstring and back issues, you must combine Neck Deep Tissue Release (see “School of Hard Necks” on the Ranks Academy website as well as PowerWire #6) with your lower body flexibility program.
