Does your posture matter when you’re driving?

Emily Barker • April 25, 2022

 The position of your head and neck plays a large role in the injuries you sustain during a car accident.

When you are rear-ended, normal cervical lordosis (the curvature of your cervical spine) actually protects against severe tissue damage and decreases the likelihood of experiencing chronic pain.

Furthermore, studies have shown that patients who experience chronic pain following an accident are those who have abnormal cervical lordosis.

Do you have forward head posture? Posture exercises will correct your head and neck position- in turn protecting you from injury and relieving any discomfort you may presently have!
