Isn't forward head posture caused by tight pecs and trapz? I think I may have a little forward head posture as well because its harder to keep my head up in neutral. When I relax my head, it wants to go down into forward head posture, but I don't let it. I know I have real tight upper trapz that I have been trying to massage like crazy lately with my hands that has not gone away yet. I am trying to get my head to turn to the left without anything holding it back like it can to the right. I basicially need to get loose in the upper trapz. I am not sure if my pecs are tight or not though. I am pretty sure its just the upper trapz doing this to me.

Should I also stop doing pull ups right now and just focus on rows? bent over rows, seated rows, face pulls, straight arm lat pulldowns, depressions on lat pulldown machine, etc.? like kevin said. (anything that is retraction or depression only basicially)
