The expression "things are looking up" is normally used to indicate that a troubling situation is improving and the weight of the world is lifting from your shoulders. However, in the case of the issue explained in this week's video, looking up may be precisely what is at the root of your bothersome neck and shoulder pain. Excessive cervical lordosis is a common imbalance that accompanies a forward head position.

Excessive cervical lordosis can be a major contributor to neck, shoulder, and upper back pain.
