It's challenging to pull away from your phone or tablet. When deeply absorbed, we often slump into unnatural positions without noticing, leading to strain.
A Florida chiropractor coined the term "text neck" to describe the strain on your head, neck, and shoulders from constantly looking down at screens.
Staying Focused
When engrossed in your device, it's easy to overlook poor habits like craning your neck forward, hunching your shoulders, or arching your back. These postures build tension that triggers discomfort and pain.
Keep It at Eye Level
To prevent text neck, hold your phone or tablet at eye level. Take frequent breaks, stay active, and build strength and flexibility in your back and neck muscles to ease pressure on your cervical spine.
Do you catch yourself leaning too close to your screen?
