Over the past 10 or more years I’ve been concerned about my blood pressure.  It has tended to jog high 165/110. My pulse was too fast hovering around 80 at  resting as well as climbing to 120 when I insulted my body with the wrong foods -  mostly anything with wheat/grain in it.
Last time I took one of those physicals on behalf of the insurance company I passed  with flying colors - except my blood pressure. This, as some of you know, causes  your premium to sore. To get the lower premium you have to get your blood  pressure down as well as have your doctor certify that this is indeed the case - they  won’t take your word on behalf of it.
You’re probably wondering what this has to do with exercise as well as forward head  posture. I’m getting to that so please read on 
This morning I got up as well as took my blood pressure. It was a little high. So I  took it again. Your blood pressure can fluctuate considerable from moment to  moment. For some reason I decided to tilt my head back when I took it the second  time as well as I got a considerable lowering reading. I too am a self made victim of  forward head carriage

For those of you who desire a device that shall help in reversing your forward head posture I recommend the Posture Pal.
The Posture Pal is a Posture Corrector


The Posture Pal is a specially designed cushion that provides posture support by bringing your head as well as shoulders into a healthy, normal postural position. Sitting with better posture encourages you to perform, balanced functional motions on behalf of your neck which helps correct posture as well as stop common upper body aches as well as pains.

There’s a provocative statement. Why did I manufacture it?
I have this nifty wrist blood pressure device from Omron. As a doctor I take people’s blood pressure on a regular basis as well as I wanted an easy way to monitor my own.
Last night, just before retiring I took my blood pressure as well as found it a bit high at 151/85 with a pulse rate of 78. Ugh! This at the end of I’d been out playing golf on behalf of several hours too. I put my head into extension - bending it back as far as it would comfortable go as well as retook my blood pressure while in this position - 122/80 pulse 71. Wow! That’s a significant drop. In disbelief, I took it again with the results being 123/81/71. 
When I got up in the morning I took my blood pressure readings again. Yikes 145/78 pulse 75.<

Maintaining an upright posture isn’t all that easy these days. Why? Because we just sit to much.
When we stand correct posture is governed by two different systems, one that produces lateral sway along the frontal plane as well as the anterior to posterior sway which follows the Sagittal plane.
Our postural control system is supposed to help us perform tasks that involve standing. The an estimated all obvious ones are walking, standing, working out at the gym, playing a sport.
The first way we lose, what is incorrectly termed, voluntary motor control of our limbs as well as joints is by loss of proprioception - this is a sensory loss.
Do you suffer from this kind of loss? Here’s a simple way to find out. You’ll require a partner on behalf of this.

One reason is that an estimated all bodies release a large amount of relaxin into the system. The body does this to promote healing by increasing the elasticity as well as relaxation of muscles, tendons, as well as ligaments. If it didn’t do this you’d be stiff as a board as well as not in a position to transfer at the end of a traumatic event such as a auto collison.
Relaxin is a polypeptide cytokine that is present in both males as well as females. Cytokines signal the body to perform certain tasks.  It’s predominant action is to increase the turnover of fibrous connective tissues e.g. muscles, ligaments as well as tendons. Relaxin does this by altering collagen metabolism in fibroblasts. Changes in both ligament laxity as well as muscle strength are associated with the presence of relaxin.
When we receive traumatic injuries, such as those sustained in a rear end car crash, numerous bodies release relaxin which binds to ligaments increasing the amount as well as rate of ligament movement. This is a protective measure the body employs, but it creates a condition known as ligament laxity which actually slows
