If it does not touch the wall, you have forward head posture, and it is likely that you suffer from weak neck muscles. Get into correct head posture by touching the back of your head to the wall. Pretend that there is a string going from the base of your neck to the top of your head.
The head, attached to the top of the vertebral column, is balanced, moved, and rotated by the neck muscles (Table 5). When these muscles act unilaterally, the head rotates. When they contract bilaterally, the head flexes or extends. The major muscle that laterally flexes and rotates the head is the sternocleidomastoid. In addition, both muscles working together are the flexors of the head. Place your fingers on both sides of the neck and turn your head to the left and to the right.
