The weight on our neck and spine dramatically increases when we tilt our head forward. When our head is positioned at neutral position it weighs 10-12 pounds. And when you bend it forward 15 degrees it weighs 27 pounds. And at 45 degrees, your neck weighs 49 pounds...
...Don't wait until you have developed a chronic condition!
