Text Neck?

11/17/2020

 
Picture
Have you heard the term "text neck"? If not, you can probably quickly come to a conclusion. It's a condition caused by repeatedly leaning forward while viewing and operating your technology device. This constant leaning forward is sometimes associated with chronic neck pain. The CDC's National Health Statistics estimate that 30% of the US population deals with neck pain each year. Our bodies are not meant for sitting for long periods or constantly hunching over a computer screen. Office workers, manual laborers, and healthcare workers are at the most risk. 

Seeing a physical therapist can help you decrease pain from "text neck" and learn how to prevent it. We can determine where the issue lies and offer the right exercises and stretches and others interventions.

Below are a few common activities that can help. If not, come in to see our physical therapists for a personalized plan for you. 

Scapular Rolls ​
  • Roll shoulders up and hold for 5 seconds. 
  • Roll shoulders back and hold for 5 seconds.
  • Roll shoulders down and hold for 5 seconds.
​Upper Trapezius Stretch
  • Look down towards one shoulder. Hold for 30 seconds. Repeat on the other side. 
Chin Tucks
  • Pull your chin gently straight back. Don't tilt your head up or down. Hold for 5 seconds and then relax. ​
