Text neck is a condition characterized by neck pain and stiffness caused by prolonged use of mobile devices or other electronic devices.
The term "text neck" is used because people tend to lean their heads forward when using their devices, which puts additional pressure on the neck and shoulders.
Our physiotherapist can definitely help in the treatment of text neck. They can evaluate the extent of damage caused by prolonged phone use and design a comprehensive treatment plan to correct the posture and alleviate neck pain.
Treatment options may include exercises to strengthen the neck and shoulder muscles, postural education, and ergonomic advice on how to adjust the digital device to avoid bad posture.
Physiotherapists can also provide massage therapy to release muscle tension and improve range of motion.
Ultimately, with the help of a physiotherapist, patients can learn to recognize their posture habits and retrain their body to better align its spine and relieve symptoms.
