Forward Head Posture Correction
Fixing 'tech neck' visibly improves jawline-neck definition in profile — soft tissue, not skeleton, but real.
Also called: forward head posture · tech neck · nerd neck
Verdict — legit
Does what it claims, with evidence behind it.
Evidence grade B
At least one good randomised trial, or consistent findings across controlled studies.
Mechanism
Forward head posture compresses the submental space, creating apparent double chin and obscuring the mandibular border; craniocervical realignment restores the natural chin-neck angle.

The full read
Physiotherapy studies confirm exercise programs meaningfully reduce craniovertebral angle deviation in 6–12 weeks (chin tucks, deep neck flexor work, thoracic mobility). The profile improvement is genuinely visible in before/afters because the submental area decompresses. One of the few free, fast, structural-looking wins.
