Â© 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. An inverse relationship between household income and violence exposure in youth hasbeen reported in numerous studies (e.g., Garbarino & Crouter, 1978; Gelles, 1992; Gelles& Straus, 1979; Steinberg, Catalano, & Dooley, 1981).
The head, attached to the top of the vertebral column, is balanced, moved, and rotated by the neck muscles (). When these muscles act unilaterally, the head rotates. When they contract bilaterally, the head flexes or extends. The major muscle that laterally flexes and rotates the head is the sternocleidomastoid.
To Correct Forward Head Posture, the muscles which need to be stretched comprise of: 1  Upper cervical (capital) extensors: Semispinalis capitis, splenius capitis, longissimus capitis and suboccipital muscles. 2  Lower cervical flexors. Sternocleidomastoid muscle, medial and anterior scalene muscles.
