Tech neck, or "text neck," refers to the strain on the neck and upper back from prolonged use of smartphones, tablets, and computers. 📱💻
Here are 6 signs to watch out for text neck:
😣 Neck Pain: Persistent pain or discomfort in the neck, especially after using devices for extended periods.
💥 Shoulder Tension: Tightness or tension in the shoulders, often accompanied by muscle spasms.
🧍 Upper Back Pain: Pain or stiffness in the upper back, particularly between the shoulder blades.
🤕 Headaches: Frequent headaches, especially originating from the base of the skull and radiating towards the forehead.
📉 Postural Changes: Noticeable forward head posture where the head leans forward relative to the shoulders, which can lead to spinal misalignment over time.
🔁 Limited Range of Motion: Difficulty in turning the head or neck due to stiffness or soreness.
These signs indicate the need to take breaks, adjust ergonomics, and practice neck-strengthening exercises to mitigate tech neck symptoms. 🧘♂️
