Cervical spine part 2

The document discusses alignment of the cervical spine. It notes that the cervical spine is susceptible to degenerative changes from repeated movements and aging. The most common alignment impairment is a forward head posture, characterized by cervical extension and increased thoracic kyphosis. This positioning increases compressive loading on cervical tissues. Treatment aims to first correct any faults in cervical, thoracic, and scapular alignment before addressing faulty cervical movements.
