Ever wonder why that knot at the base of your neck won’t go away? 🤔💻
That spot, called the vertebral prominence (C7-T1) takes the brunt of your head’s weight when you’re working hunched at a desk, scrolling your phone 📱, or even cooking with your head tilted down 🍳.
➡️ The average human head weighs 10–12 pounds… but tilt it forward just 15° and that load more than doubles on your spine 😳.
Over time, this can lead to:
🔸 Tight traps
🔸 Constant upper back stiffness
🔸 Forward head posture
🔸 Even that dreaded “tech hump” 🪨
✅ Solution?
Micro-breaks, posture checks, mobility drills, and getting adjusted regularly by your chiropractor 🙌
