For years I walked with what’s known as forward head posture. Basically, I carried my head in front of my shoulders rather than in line with my spine. Which, in turn, inevitably led to upper back and neck pain. There’s a very simple remedy to this condition, and that’s walking (and sitting) in proper posture. One technique is imagining a string attached to the crown of your head while the thread is gently pulled straight up into the air. It’s helpful imagery that indeed has the effect of aligning shoulders, head, and back.
