Text Neck π΅π±π₯
How much time do you spend on your phone?
Did you know we spend up to 24 hours A WEEK scrolling through social media and answering emails on our phones? That's a lot of hours tilting our necks down to check our Insta feed! 'Text Neck' is now a common problem for many of us, leading to more serious conditions like Kyphosis and Upper Cross Syndrome.
Symptoms of Text Neck - caused through repeated flexion of the neck - include tension across the traps and shoulders, disrupted sleep, regular headaches, and poor posture.
The human head is surprisingly heavy, protracting the neck while looking down at your phone therefore places huge pressure on your spine.
A study found that even a slight tilt of 60 degrees results in an extra 60lbs of pressure! That's a lot of strain on the poor neck! We've all heard the expression "they've got the weight of the world on their shoulders." These days it's more the weight of the world on their neck!
Fortunately, there is a quick and affordable way of fixing this common problem.
All the muscles affected by Text Neck can be manipulated through soft tissue therapy. By using Sports Massage techniques, MyMuscle Therapy can restore muscle health, correct poor posture, and eliminate pain.
