Most people are trying to fix their posture, tight neck, and jaw tension but the real issue is often their tongue position. When the tongue drops to the bottom of the mouth the body goes into subtle bracing. The airway narrows. The jaw compresses. The neck tightens. The fascia around the skull begins to pull everything forward.

This muscle is a highly under-appreciated player in Forward Head Posture, but it’s surprisingly not attached to the head or neck. Addressing this often times is a key piece of improving neck & head mechanics/range of motion.

Forward head posture isn’t just a neck issue. It often starts lower in the body — from the feet to the hips and upper back. Real change comes from restoring alignment from the ground up, plus consistent daily habits, not forcing the head back.
