Which dynamic poster component specifically concerns the head/neck region alignment?

• A. Feet
• B. Shoulders
• C. LPHC
• D. Head/Neck

Answer: (D)

Dynamic posture assessment separates alignment into regions, and the head/neck component focuses on the position of the cervical spine and head. Keeping the head level and the chin neutral helps the entire spine stay stacked and balanced, reducing compensations that can travel down into the shoulders and hips. A forward head posture or an excessive chin tuck disrupts cervical curvature and can trigger changes in upper spine and shoulder positioning, which is why this component specifically targets head/neck alignment. Cues to apply include looking forward, keeping the chin neutral, ears over shoulders, and imagining the crown lengthening toward the ceiling.
