Headaches
Headaches may be related to problems in the neck or in the cranial bones. Gentle, precise corrections of misalignments or fixations in the neck or occiput often bring relief. The cranial rhythms should also be checked.

Keys to Healthy Sitting
Keys to healthy sitting include:
---both feet flat on the floor,
---knees slightly lower than the level of the hips,
---back resting comfortably against your chair,
---keep your head in line with center of gravity of your body
(avoid head-forward postures).
One of the most important features of whatever chair you use is that you can change the height of the seat.
