Do you ever catch yourself hunched over your phone or laptop for hours — then wonder why your neck, shoulders, or even lower back ache?
You’re not broken — your posture is simply under pressure.
When you tilt your head forward to look at a screen, your neck muscles strain to support the extra weight — up to 60 pounds of pressure on the spine! Over time, this leads to tension, headaches, shoulder stiffness, and even nerve irritation that can travel down your arms.
Your body works as one system. The muscles that round your shoulders forward (like your chest and abs) can pull your upper body out of alignment, forcing your neck and upper back to overwork. The result? Constant tightness that stretching alone can’t fix.
Here’s what you can do today:
📱 Keep your phone at eye level
💻 Take a 2-minute stretch break every 30 minutes
🪑 Sit tall — chest open, chin tucked gently back
💨 Breathe! Tension builds when your breath gets shallow
Your posture is a reflection of your habits — not your age. Small corrections every day can prevent years of chronic pain and fatigue.
Take a moment right now: straighten up, roll your shoulders back, and lift your chin — your body will thank you.
