| Your neck was created with a built-in shock absorber.
Imagine trying to balance a bowling ball on a stick. To make
it more difficult, tilt the stick forward while trying to maintain balance of
the bowling ball. That’s what it’s like trying to support your head on your
neck if it loses its natural curve.
Your neck was created with a built-in shock absorber called
a curve or lordosis. This was formed by design because the curve acts like a
spring and absorbs the shock of your head resting on your neck. Think of the
same bowling ball now resting on a large spring…can your see and fell the
difference?
When your neck loses its curve, the ligaments supporting your neck become
stretched and lose their ability. |
