Symptom Types
These symptoms
are too dangerous to ignore
Forward Head Posture (FHP) can shake not only the balance of your entire body but also your brain function.
Posture & Muscle Signals
• Neck, shoulder, and trapezius pain
• Stiffness and heaviness in the back of the neck
• Hunched back and distorted body shape
• Head always protruding forward
TMJ & Facial Signals
• Jaw tilted to one side
• Asymmetry of cheekbones, cheeks, and jawline
• Jaw deviates to one side when opening
• Uneven mouth corners
Brain & Autonomic Signals
• Chronic headache, dizziness, and brain fog
• Decreased memory and concentration
• Anxiety, sensitivity, and worsened sleep
• Anxiety due to parental history of dementia
Head Position Analysis
Why is Head Position
Most Important?
Cervical Spine → TMJ → Face → Brain Health
The head is not just a structure resting on top, but the central axis of the cervical spine, TMJ, and cerebral blood flow.
When Forward Head Posture occurs, the 1st and 2nd cervical vertebrae (Atlas and Axis), the foundation of the neck, become twisted, causing the following problems simultaneously.
This is why corrections that focus only on specific parts will never solve the problem.
MECHANISM
The Scientific Principle of How
FHP Ruins the Face
Science of FHP and TMJ
When the head moves forward, cervical alignment collapses, and the upper cervical spine (Atlas/Axis) rotates automatically.
This rotation distorts the central axis of the TMJ, causing the jaw to become fixed in a tilted position.
As a result, symptoms such as TMJ pain, clicking sounds, and deviation when opening the mouth occur.
FHP and Facial Asymmetry
When the central axis of the TMJ is distorted, the balance of facial fascia and bones also collapses.
One-sided chewing muscles, temporal muscles, and masseter muscles become hypertonic while the opposite side weakens, making facial asymmetry progressively worse.
Differences in the height of cheekbones, cheeks, jawline, and mouth corners occur, or the entire face and body may appear tilted in photos.
PART C
FHP and Brain Health: Dementia Risk Posture
Forward head posture goes beyond simple musculoskeletal issues, directly affecting cerebral blood flow, cerebrospinal fluid, and autonomic nervous system function.
It is a dangerous posture that blocks both the 'entrance' and 'exit' to the brain.
01 Flow
Reduced Brain Blood Flow
Vertebral artery kinking and decreased oxygen/glucose supply
02 Drainage
Impaired Brain Waste Drainage
Internal jugular vein compression and increased intracranial pressure decrease drainage of toxins
03 Circulation
Decreased CSF Circulation
Twisting of C1 and C2 vertebrae blocks CSF flow, causing pressure imbalance
04 Nerve
Brain Wave Changes & Emotional Distress
Anxiety, sensitivity, and autonomic system collapse due to brain wave changes
05 Risk
Increased Dementia Risk
Potential cognitive decline due to hippocampal atrophy and DMN dysfunction

Treatment Process
Integrated 4-Step System
STEP 01
Precise Diagnosis
• Whole-body/side posture analysis / C-curve and cervical lordosis measurement
• Evaluation of 1st and 2nd cervical rotation and lateral flexion
• Scan of TMJ function, opening trajectory, and facial symmetry
• Interview on cerebral blood flow and autonomic nervous system patterns
STEP 02
Customized Correction Plan Design
• Head position correction and restoration of upper cervical alignment
• Realignment of TMJ balance and adjustment of facial fascia tone
• Design of cerebral blood flow and CSF circulation restoration program
STEP 03
Integrated Treatment
• Upper cervical Chuna (manual) therapy
• TMJ functional correction
• Myofascial release (trapezius, suboccipital muscles, etc.)
• Linked correction of skull, cervical spine, and TMJ, and nervous system stabilization treatment
STEP 04
Relapse Prevention & Home Care
• Education on monitor/phone posture and correction of sleep/pillow height
• Sustained cervical maintenance exercises and TMJ symmetry home care
• Cerebral blood flow improvement routine

Conclusion: Correcting the head position is about saving the 'face' and the 'brain'.
Your head position determines your face, body, and brain health.
Now is the time to set your head straight.
