Overuse of technology and electronic devices causes us to lean forward and crane our neck downwards towards a screen. This causes the weight of our head to place pressure on our neck and spine. This position strains our muscles, tendons and ligaments in the neck and upper back causing discomfort and pain.
We refer to this as TECH NECK.
Overtime, if unaddressed, tech neck can lead to chronic neck and shoulder pain, causing headaches and ongoing spinal issues.
How do we prevent this?
- Take breaks and stretch frequently.
- Check in with your posture, are you in neutral or are you leading or hunching forward?
- Position your device at eye level.
- Practice daily functional movement to improve your alignment and posture. Enter Fluidform!
