Fight the tech posture with physio training

What is a “text neck”?

It is a recently developed term to describe the symptoms associated with overuse of electronic devices, particularly our smartphones.
This leads to a repetitive stress injury to the neck caused by having your head in a forward position for extended period.
The forward pending posture affects the curvature of the cervical spine, the neck and the shoulder muscles, and supporting ligaments.

What are the symptoms?

• Sharp or nagging pain in the neck and shoulders
• Stiffness/tightness in shoulders and neck leading to decreased range of motion
• Intermittent or constant headaches
• Tingling and numbness in the upper limbs
• Eye pain and dizziness

What to do?

• Hold the device at eye level when possible
• Take frequent breaks
• Exercise regularly. Strength and flexibility of the back and neck have been shown to
  better tolerate extra stress on the spine
• Check with your physiotherapist to develop a treatment plan and a training program to
  meet your specific needs
