The average head weighs about 5kg and is supported by 7 vertebrae and 20 muscles., In a neutral position the neck has about 5kg of pressure on it. A study from 2014* showed that tilting your head even just 45 degrees away from that neutral position can increase that pressure to 22kg!! No wonder your back and neck are so achy! ![]()
