Buffalo hump: How to get rid of it naturally without surgery?
Have you noticed a small lump of fat or a curve forming at the base of your neck? It's commonly called a "buffalo hump." Unsightly and sometimes painful, it's often caused by repeated poor posture (head tilted forward). The good news? It's not inevitable.
Why does this bump appear?
A buffalo hump is an accumulation of fatty tissue designed to protect your spine when it's under constant stress. It's your body's response to "text neck" or prolonged desk work. The more your head tilts, the larger the hump becomes.
3 Simple Exercises to Correct Your Posture Before treating the bump, you must correct the cause.
- Chin tuck: Tuck your chin towards your neck as if you were making a double chin, hold for 5 seconds, then release. Repeat 10 times.
- Cage opening: With hands behind your back, pull your shoulders back to open your chest.
-
Lateral stretch: Gently tilt your ear towards your shoulder to relax your trapezius muscles.
The secret to speeding up the disappearance: Massage and Heat
-
Break down fibrous tissues through deep kneading.
-
Melt away tension using infrared heat (45°C).
-
Correct your posture by relaxing the muscles that pull your head forward.
Conclusion: A 15-minute session each evening can transform your figure and relieve back pain. Don't let the bulge take hold.
