Let’s talk tech neck! Not sure what it is? Tech neck is a repetitive strain condition caused by bad posture when using your smartphone, leading to increased stress (and discomfort) on the neck and shoulders.
Over time it can take a real toll on the neck and shoulders. Looking down for prolonged periods places increased strain on your muscles, often leading to stiffness, tension and headaches.
A few small changes can make a big difference:
🤳Bring your phone up closer to eye level where possible
📴Take regular breaks to move and reset your posture
🧘🏻♀️Gently stretch your neck and shoulders throughout the day
It’s not about eliminating screen time completely (let’s be realistic!), but being more aware of your body. If you’re already noticing discomfort, let this be your sign to get in touch to discuss a treatment plan.
