A Simple Self Test for Alignment

June 21, 2019 by Lisa

How can you tell if your body is out of alignment?

Stand against a wall. With your shoulder blades touching the wall, is your head touching the wall too?

If you have to pull your head back to make contact with the wall then your head is positioned forward. This is important information as a forward head  can create dysfunction and cause neck pain, shoulder pain and back pain.

If you have trouble backing the car out of the driveway or performing activities that are not as easy as they once were, it’s because many physical activities depend on a functional head position for their execution.

Use the wall test to assess if your body is in alignment!
