The weight of our head increases the further forward we put it. This extra weight puts strain on our muscles, causing pain.

La tête pèse environ 5 kg.

Le cou supporte le poids de la tête qui, selon l'angle de l'inclinaison, augmente. Plus on regarde en bas, plus notre tête pèse. Selon le segment cervical qui prend le poids et le stress, le poids de la tête fluctue à moins de 5 kg, mais si vous le penchez en avant, il pèse de plus en plus. Quand il est plié à 60 degrés, il charge 22-27 kg sur les vertèbres cervicales inférieures et vers le bas dans le thoracique. En effet, toute la colonne vertébrale.

Qui plus est, la pléthore de soutien des tissus mous, des fascias, des muscles, des ligaments et des tendons devient tendue et fatiguée, ce qui accroît la tension sur les articulations et les disques. Si ce n'est pas maintenant, alors en bas de la piste, cela aura un impact sur le cou à mesure qu'il devient plus raide ainsi que sur la probabilité de créer des problèmes ailleurs.

Prenez soin de vous en utilisant des smartphones. Nous sommes totalement absorbés par ce qui se passe et nous ne vérifions pas notre position corporelle et ce que ce petit appareil peut nous faire avec le temps.
