Every inch your head drifts forward adds strain to your neck and upper back. With phones, tablets, and laptops part of daily life for kids and adults alike, "tech neck" has become one of the most common posture problems we see.
Signs of Tech Neck
- Neck and shoulder tightness by the end of the day
- Headaches that start at the base of the skull
- Rounded shoulders and a forward head posture
- Tingling in the hands or arms
Simple Ways to Protect Your Neck
- Raise your phone to eye level instead of looking down
- Set your laptop on a stand and use a separate keyboard
- Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds
- Take movement breaks at least once an hour
Kids and Teens Too
Growing spines are especially affected by long hours on devices. Setting screen limits and a good homework setup make a real difference.
