Reminder of the Day: Check Your "Tech Neck"
How many hours a day do you spend looking down at a screen?
That position—chin tucked, shoulders rounded, head forward—is one of the most common causes of neck and upper back pain we see. This posture, often called "Tech Neck," puts excessive strain on the muscles, ligaments, and discs in your cervical spine.
Over time, this doesn't just cause a temporary "crick in the neck." It can lead to chronic pain, persistent headaches, and long-term postural issues.
One Simple Habit to Build Today: Stop dropping your head to your device. Instead, make a conscious effort to lift your phone or tablet up to eye level. Your neck will thank you.
