Forward head posture is very common, and may find it difficult to deal with due to several lesser known factors contributing to the dysfunction, such as hip position and scapular height.

If the pelvis is situated in front of the shoulders, in swayback posture, it will be almost impossible to get rid of FHP as it is helping to maintain equilibrium. Likewise, if the shoulders are hanging too low, this will force the cervical spine to protract and hinge.

A multifactorial approach is necessary to deal with FHP.
