How Forward Head Posture Contributes to Back Pain and What Helps

So, here’s a little confession — I didn’t even know I had forward head posture until a massage therapist casually mentioned it while digging into the knots under my shoulder blades. “You spend a lot of time on a screen, don’t you?” she asked.

Not long ago, I was sitting by the window, sketchpad in hand, sunlight pouring in, and suddenly—there it was again. A translucent thread, almost like a cobweb, drifting across my vision. At first, I thought it was just dust or a hair. But as I blinked and adjusted my gaze, it danced with my eye…

Poor Spinal Positioning Can Ruin Your CPAP Compliance

Getting used to a CPAP machine can feel like sleeping with a small robot strapped to your face. I remember the first week I tried one—I was convinced I’d never sleep again.

Ever walked through an art gallery, only to be distracted by weird little specs or squiggles floating across your vision? I remember once admiring a vibrant painting—this surreal swirl of blues and reds—and suddenly I saw something that wasn’t part of the canvas.
