Improve Forward Head Posture quickly and easily with Somatic movements. This sequence of movements will release and relax all the muscles involved in forward head posture. Feel your neck relax, your spine straighten and your posture shift dramatically.
As usual we'll be using some specific pandiculations to re-establish good control of our trunk, spine and neck. You'll also experience how your head position is influenced by your pelvis and vice versa.
There's no need for any stretching or strengthening to achieve results. Somatics uses slow, low effort movements that reduce muscle tension and allow muscles to return to their optimal resting length quickly by working with your nervous system, not against it.

I watch several Somatics TH-camrs and your demos are some of my favorite! I discovered Hanna Somatics in my 20's and I learned from his book with the wooden figures. It wasn't super easy to learn from that book & I was inconsistent. Now 30 years later I'm having more random pain that wasn't being fixed with yoga, massage or chiro so I came back to it. The videos have helped me tremendously! Within a week of daily practice my knee pain is pretty much gone. I still suffer from neck and shoulder pain due to being on the computer all day, but I'm certain that when I focus more on that area it will help. Thanks for your easy to understand tutorials! You're really helping people!
Hi Radha, glad you are finding my videos helpful and that you have been able to resolve your knee pain. Nice work! You're in luck, I have a playlist of videos for Neck & Shoulders too: th-cam.com/play/PLqkYN2h6F-h4v_XCVHBGTQpVNK-j0eP9H.html
Thanks for watching.
Amazing, so helpful! Thank you.
Life saver.
Brilliant!!!
These videos are so great Colm, I learn domething everytime!
Hey Madi, glad you’re finding them helpful. Hope all is well with you.
Wow fabulous- thanks 🙏🏻
You're welcome!
So easy, yet SO effective! Thank you!
Yep, couldn’t have said it better myself.
Glad it helps you i am working in it.
I haven't done so much of your tutorials Norm......didn't feel much different (I must say I have lots of issues following a car accident) but my wife and some friends start telling me I look taller and straighter! I think I'm on to something good! Thank you Norm
Also my left hip flexor who has been tight for many years is much looser now (and I tried everything else to loosen it through the years). Is Somatics(Norm's way) the key I've been looking for??
Hi Jojo, you're very welcome. Be sure to check out the Daily Routine video to learn the most fundamental movements and improve further. Here it is: th-cam.com/video/pxqlAAVlRKU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching! Colm
Colm, thanks as always for your great work! I know they would all help, but do you have a video that specifically addresses tension headache? If so, please let me know which one and if not, I'm putting in a plug for one, please 😉. Thx!
Kate
Hi Kate, try these two as a brief sequence for tension headaches: th-cam.com/video/uipUdY5-o3U/w-d-xo.html

@Learn Somatics Thanks very much Colm, I will try these!
Another wonderful instructional video! During the last few where you are projecting head to ceiling with the arch and then the flatten, do you use your hands and shoulder tension as you project the head forward? Thank you!
Yes I’m using my arms a little but the bulk of the work is coming from my trunk.
❤❤❤
Takk!
Thanks so much! I appreciate that🙏
Thanks Colm! Could you please make a video for jaw deviated or misaligned jaw. My jaw feel pain on one side. 😢
Hi Fazli, feel/press the muscles on each side of your neck. Is one side more tender or sore than the other? Tightness on one side of neck can contribute to jaw pain. I’ll do a video on it for sure. In the meantime practice this Balance sequence it should help: th-cam.com/video/VUZvsqjUU8w/w-d-xo.html
@@LearnSomatics may god bless you. Thanks!
Excellent exercise, really helped me.
Question : Posteriol pelvic tilt, forward head posture, and SI joint problems, are they all result of same root cause issue ? Shorthand lower back muscels ?
Hi Yavuz, Glad you found that one helpful. Posterior pelvic tilt and forward head posture are more indicative of tightness in the belly and chest muscles. SI Joint is generally more from a tightness on ONE side of the trunk creating asymmetry. Hope that helps!
Interesting , big help thank you🙏
Thank you! I enjoyed doing this. It’s released lots of pressure. Can I do this every day, or do you recommend resting days? I’ve noticed the forward position of my neck is getting worse as I’ve got older. Thanks! Tara ✨🙏
Hello Tara, glad you found this helpful. You can do it every day if you wish, no problem. I'd also recommend the following video for further improvements with forward head posture.

Try that and let me know how it goes!
I have very sensitive neck. Are we supposed to be using no pillow or in a memory foam one ok?
That's a question for most your videos
You can use any type of pillow. Whatever you need to make yourself comfortable. That applies to all the movements. Thanks for watching
very bad habit of mine, I get to the point where i extremely feel i have no control, to you know what muscles or lessons i might need if my shoulders / chest/ ribs , this morning i did arm twist pulling rope i thought to do this one, but, my upper back , chest is very tight i have time to the chest one, but, what would you suggest after swim, thanks., Colm The daily routine maybe after, but, for me , i don't know i don't think its enough.!?
Really feel a difference with this routine. How long typically does it take with daily practice to see lasting improvement and pain reduction? Thanks
You should feel improvements immediately. Improvements accumulate with time and practice. But within a week you should be feeling
more comfortable. Be sure to follow my Daily Routine video. That covers all the most fundamental movements. I also offer online 1-1s if you’d like some real time help.

@@LearnSomatics Thanks very much for the info. I will try the Daily Routine and let you know how I go
do you know where i would like to put my effort and intention towards an upper back with pronounced curve forward.
Forward head as this might be part of the cause ,resultingmg/leading. towards osteoporosis, seemingly a little better posture with Somatics.
