Muscles of the Neck Keeping Head in Balance
November 27, 2008 by rainier
To the spinal column, there are also muscles connected, through tendons. These muscles play an important part in your neck. They keep your head in balance and they make movement of head and shoulders possible.
Especially keeping the head in balance is an important function of the neck muscles. An average head weighs roughly 4.2 kilos; this doesn’t seem that much, but try to tilt 4.2 kilos in front of your body with stretched arms.That’s going to be pretty difficult!Neck muscles have to be well adjusted to each other. If you bend your head forward, the muscles on the front will have to tighten and the muscles on the back will have to relax.
To hold your head up, you have to tighten your muscles with the same strength, otherwise your head will fall back or forwards. For all of this you’ll need good muscle coordination. They work together as a team and when one doesn’t function as it should, the whole team doesn’t function.
I used this night cream along with their day cream.
problem:
I’m a 65 yo male that has always had a ruddy complexion. I wore a cervical neck collar for about 6 years, plus losing about 100 pounds about 2 years ago. My neck was an over abundance of loose saggy skin. I just wiped it on w/o paying much attention to how I did it.
RESULT after 1 month:
Nearly all my saggy neck skin has tightened. It unbelievable.
plus-
I’ve received comments from three different people who commented, “you look great – what have you done to your face and neck!” THAT SAYS IT ALL>
I’ll definitely reorder these two products.
