TOP 10 TIPS FOR TECH NECK PREVENTION!
Small changes make a big difference- Too much screen time can cause tech neck for people of all ages.
✅ SIT WITH COMFORTABLE UPRIGHT POSTURE with shoulders relaxed and feet flat on the floor.
✅ STOP BENDING YOUR NECK to look down at a phone or tablet. Hold the device at eye level.
✅ BE AWARE OF TIME SPENT USING TECHNOLOGY by monitoring device use and taking regular breaks.
✅ USE BOTH HANDS CONCURRENTLY or alternate between left and right when typing on a smartphone.
✅ DON’T WALK LOOKING DOWN at a phone. Hold your head up straight and engage with the world.
✅ TAKE REGULAR MOVEMENT BREAKS to look away from your device, move your neck from side to side and stretch every 10 minutes if using mobile devices, and every 30 minutes if using computers.
✅ ENSURE COMPUTERS are ergonomically set up so the monitor is at eye level and arm’s length away.
✅ USE AN ADJUSTABLE ergonomic office chair so the knees are slightly lower than the hips.
✅ EXERCISE REGULARLY to maintain a healthy spine and overall health and wellbeing.
