Easy and Simple Exercise for Headache and Neck Pain

In my clinic, I have seen many patients who have a headache or neck pain.

Some patients have family history of migraine, some have a history of traumatic injury such as traffic accident.

Most of patients have bad sitting posture that cause head-forwarded posture.
Head-forwarded posture makes our back muscles tight, neck deep flexor muscles weak, chest muscles shortened, mid-back muscles weakened.

So, these problems makes rounded-shoulder.

Here is a good exercise for head-forwarded people.
