A key step in improving your posture is to address the position of your rib cage before focusing on your head and neck. When your ribs collapse forward or become rounded, they often pull your upper body out of alignment. In response, the muscles in your neck are forced to work harder to keep your head upright, which commonly leads to a forward head position.
By first bringing your rib cage back into a more balanced position, stacked directly over your pelvis, you create a stable foundation for the rest of your upper body. This alignment allows your collarbones and upper ribs to open and expand, creating space for your neck to move freely. As a result, your head can settle more naturally into proper alignment without excessive strain on your neck muscles.
