Looking down at your phone doesn’t feel heavy, but for your neck, it can equal up to 60 lbs of extra force.
From morning phone scrolling, to desk posture during the day, to screen time in bed at night, many adults spend 6–8 hours per day looking down at screens, placing continuous strain on the neck and upper spine.
What this can do:
• Increases load on the cervical spine and discs
• Creates muscle tension and postural fatigue
• Contributes to headaches, neck pain, and upper-back stiffness
• Over time, can alter spinal alignment and movement patterns
What you can do:
• Take regular posture breaks from screens
• Raise devices to eye level when possible
• Stretch the neck, chest, and upper back daily
• Support spinal health with chiropractic, physiotherapy, or massage therapy
