This pillow, the Neck Sofa® can help you with the Forward head posture “Text Neck” syndrome.

Forward Head Syndrome AKA “Text Neck” is the most common and dangerous postural distortion. This condition occurs when your spinal curves weaken and distort causing your head to shift forward on your shoulders. It is a common postural distortion which has many serious and adverse effects on overall health.

A forward head posture (FHP) AKA “Text Neck” is characterized by the neck being jutted forward in comparison to the position of the spine. This head/neck positioning causes increasing and constant discomfort over time. This is because the weight of the head is pulling the neck forward. This causes stress on the muscles that are around the neck, the spine, and even around the shoulders. 

Forward head posture AKA “Text Neck” is a syndrome. While it is not usually immediately life-threatening, it can cause an array of severe problems, imbalances and discomforts. When the posture is not corrected and it becomes the normal posture for the person dealing with FHP “Text Neck”. Many do not even realize that they are dealing with or maybe even suffering from forward head posture, but those suffering from FHP ”Text Neck” may be at risk of losing normal motion in the neck, developing deplete lung capacity by as much as 30%, (Shortness of breath can lead to heart and blood vascular disease), and eventual loss of movement over the entire body and other very serious health problems. Over time the muscle strain starts to affect the spine.

This is only amplified when one lives an inactive life, works at an office, staring at a computer screen, or lacks exercise in their life. The effects of FHP “Text Neck” are slow, and often go on unnoticed. If you’re reading this now, and your head is in a FHP “Text Neck” position, you may be one more victim of this syndrome.

So, what can be done about FHP “Text Neck”? Physicians and professionals suggest a few treatment options, but many times, major treatments are not necessarily needed, as forward head posture is not an immediate life-threatening condition. One thing doctors say certainly helps, is a great pillow. The proper pillow can be the ultimate defense in warding off FHP “Text Neck”.
