Formerly known as ‘Text Neck’, the term ‘Tech Neck’ has been widened to describe injury caused by young people leaning over their books, phone texting, gaming or working on iPads or laptops below their eye level. This may result in a long-term postural effect where the head is tilted forwards and strain is placed on the neck muscles and cervical spine. This postural imbalance may lead to headaches, shoulder tension and pain, as well as neck pains and stiffness.
