You might be wondering why we are talking about head posture and text neck so much lately.
When we were working with Injury Specialis Rick Kaselj on a previous project, he visited our offices one day for a meeting and was shocked to see the whole Critical Bench team slouched over our desks in our office.
Despite knowing we were fitness guys who were physically at the top of our game, he couldn’t believe how poor we’d let our posture become simply through working in an office environment.
In less than 15 minutes, Rick had performed a rapid unraveling sequence on Coach Chris that showed us how to improve our posture and get rid of that ugly texting neck almost instantly.
Rick uses a combination of different techniques to "unravel" the neck muscles including:
Muscle Re-Education Drills, Breathing Exercises, Mobility Exercises, Deep Cervical Flexor Training, Self Massage, Static Stretching and Postural Strengthening.
Not only did Rick’s 15-minute sequence help every member of the team eliminate forward head posture, just two days later, as a direct result of my improved posture, I hit a new PR on my deadlift.
All from a quick 15-minute fix. Keeping my spine neutral was a trick that not even my pro level powerlifter friends knew about.
After seeing the results first-hand, I persuaded Rick to write down and demonstrate exactly what he did to gain all the benefits of a stronger, healthier head posture.
Rick's 15-minute for men & women who want to get rid of their texting neck, fix their posture in order to move, sleep and breathe better
Keep training hard,

P.S. What are others saying about Forward Head Posture FIX?
Decrease Pain, Look Younger & Stand Taller
"Working with female clients, I am always looking for new exercises to help with posture.
Living in the digital age I see more issues with the head and neck posture than any other area. Clients with dysfunctional posture of the head and neck experience chronic pain and discomfort. Besides that it is not attractive as a woman to have neck posture that makes us look like old ladies.
Rick's "Head Forward Posture FIX" is the perfect tool for any lady or man wanting to decrease pain, look younger, and stand taller. It is a great tool for me to use with my female clients ranging from age 10 - 83 with excellent results.
The exercises are easy to learn and follow – and getting your clients looking and feeling their best is why we do what we do. Thanks Rick for helping me to help other ladies!

Improve Your Breathing For More Power
"I use to suffer from lots of headaches. When I would go on heavy training cycles, I would also get neck pain while deadlifting. I pulled my leveator to a point of not being able to turn my head; it was terrible. Then when I discovered that a lot of my problems had to do with my forward head, a lot of pain began to dissipate.
In my in-person 1-on-1 training business, I come across lots of clients with forward head posture. The follow along video invaluable as I've been teaching many movements already. However, there's never been a product I've ever come across that will quickly resolve a lot of my clients neck and upper back problems in a simple to follow manner. I wish I had found this program years ago.
Most important is the breathing. If your head is forward, you cannot breathe properly. This is one of the reasons people get headaches. Shallow breathing can make migraines worse. But for those that love to lift heavy weights, if you cannot fix your head position, you will rob you of all your power on all the major lifts. Most of my co-worker trainers I work with do nothing for their own forward head. This is a no brainer. Thanks so much Mike & Rick!"
