Tech neck is a forward head posture, with rounded shoulders, and a slumped back. It’s the exact position our bodies take when we’re scrolling through our phones, swiping left and right, and trying to get to the next level of Candy Crush. Anyone else stuck on level 2498? It puts a crazy amount of pressure on the muscles in the back of the neck, shoulders, and upper back, leading to a whole host of “I’m this close to snapping today!” aches and pains. It can also cause our head to double in weight. Double!
Here’s a few tips we offer to counteract tech neck at home:
1. Hold the Phone Screen Higher
2. Take a Break
3. Exercise
4. Stretch Your Neck
5. Use Pain as a Warning
