Forward Head Posture & Athletic Performance
Forward Head Posture: The Quiet Assassin of Athletic Prowess
In the race for athletic greatness, Forward Head Posture (FHP) is the uninvited guest you didn’t know was ruining your party. Dubbed the “text neck” of our times, FHP isn’t just about looking like you’re searching for lost change on the ground. It’s a biomechanical misstep that sneaks in to sabotage your speed, balance, and power.
Studies show athletes with FHP (CVA under 55°) jump lower, balance shakier, and run slower—because who needs agility, right? Plus, FHP slows nerve signals by up to 20%, turning your body’s internal Wi-Fi into dial-up. Fix your posture, and let your performance (and head) soar!
This Year, Set Goals – Not Resolutions
This year, ditch flimsy resolutions and embrace purposeful goals! Resolutions often fizzle out by February because they lack direction and accountability. Instead, write down specific, measurable goals that align with your values.
Think beyond pain relief—what could better health enable you to achieve? Daily reflection on your goals can transform your mindset and keep you on track, no matter the distractions. Remember, success starts with action—whether it’s tossing the junk food or scheduling training with a friend.
So, ask yourself: what do you truly want, and how will you make it happen? Your best self is waiting—go get it!

Hand Grip Strength – The Vitality Meter
An Important Biomarker of Disease and Ageing
Handgrip strength (HGS) is a simple and reliable measurement of maximum voluntary muscle strength. It is one of the important tests we run during your care.
HGS can predict not only muscle mass and physical activity, but also the incidence of chronic diseases, nutritional status, quality of life, independence of daily life, length of hospital stay, and even mortality.
So we gain an important insight into your health, wellbeing, longevity, spinal and neurological function with this simple test.
