While the Ancient Kung Fu Masters of China may have been using head weighting to Strengthen core neck muscles for improved strength and balance, doctors in the United States have recently discovered and have been engaging in the practice of Anterior Head Weighting for a different purpose. There objective, to determine if head weighting would help correct one of the most prevalent spine ailments affecting more than 80% of Americans, the condition known as Forward Head Posture (Syndrome).

In its abbreviated form, FHP is a condition which can easily be recognized in Individuals when viewed from a profile. The head visibly protrudes forward in front of the torso and the shoulders are often rotated forward where as correct posture would be viewed with the head being vertically aligned over the shoulders.

Studies have shown that the major contributing factors causing FHP are sleeping with a pillow that is to firm or too thick, reading or using the computer in a position where the head tilts forward in front of the body. Disturbingly, the recent rise of Forward Head Posture in children has been thought to be connected to their early introduction to computers, improper posture while playing TV games and carrying over weighted back packs in school.

Both the short and long term affects of FHP have been well documented and include ailments such as tension, cluster and migraine headaches, neck, shoulder and back muscle pain, accelerated and irregular wear on the vertebrae in the neck region, reduced lung capacity and even changes in hormonal production. Needless to say, the visual appearance of an individual with advanced FHP is less than attractive.

The following abstract is part of a comprehensive study that was performed in 2003. The results are significant.

The Rejuvenator produces similar results as outlined in the study. Because the Halo Rejuvenator utilizes less weight (1 pound) vs. 3 to 5 pounds, as in the study, the time of improvement for ‘Forward Head Posture Syndrome’ will vary. The lighter weight still reverses FHPS, only more safely.

At the same time, Halo Rejuvenator will help the user to stretch and strengthen core neck muscles which are vital to maintaining good posture. Using daily while using a computer or watching TV for 15 to 30 minutes is recommended.

For people who suffer from chronic and severe head, neck, shoulder or back pain, and individuals who may have a predisposition to neck injury. They are advised to seek professional advice from their doctor.

ABSTRACT
Background and Objectives: Evidence of the kinesio-
pathological component of the vertebral subluxation complex
is frequently apparent in observation and assessment of pos-
ture. Postural distortion from loss of the normal cervical lor-
dosis has been referred to as forward head posture (FHP)
and may precipitate pain, decreased ranges of motion and
other health problems. FHP can be quantified by measurement
of neutral lateral cervical radiographs. The objective of this study
was to determine if the use of head weighting and balancing
protocols could improve the cervical curvature and head car-
riage.
Methods: One hundred and thirty one patients from six
chiropractic clinics in the United States, two in Canada and
one in the Russian Federation participated in the study.
Study participants were randomly selected and assessed with
Neutral lateral cervical radiographs. These patients performed
motion activities while wearing three or five pounds of weight
on the front of their heads for five minutes then a weighted
stress lateral cervical film was taken.

Conclusion: Head weighting may prove to be a useful thera-
peutic tool in addressing FHP and the concurrent loss of the
normal cervical lordosis.
The loss or reversal of the normal cervical lordosis
and attendant forward head posture has long been identified
with numerous consequential health problems including de-
creased vital lung capacity, cervical, interscapular and head-
ache pain, and temporomandibular disorders.
Many symptoms may be moderated or eliminated by improving posture.
Chiropractors and other health care professionals have attempted
to measure and correct these postural problems through spinal
adjustments and rehabilitative protocols. Successes in chang-
ing forward posture through spinal adjusting and other thera-
peutic activities have been reported but routine predictable
changes have not. Published opinion and unpublished clinical
research has suggested that purposefully attached external
weights can cause the body’s righting reflexes to react and
correct posture to a more ideal state.
