Do You Suffer From Text Neck?
Last week I watched one of the morning shows present a story on how staring down at smartphones and tablets all the time is creating terrible posture and stress on the neck. Two days later I saw another article on the hidden dangers of touchscreens. The youngest case of text neck is a 3 year old boy who loves to play video games. Once I started looking into it I found articles all over the place on the dangers of repetitive stress injuries, neck and back strain, all caused by those helpful little devices we love so much. Today I am going to be like your mother and say, "sit up straight! Put that phone away, go outside and play!" And if you can't do that, at least hold your arms out and try to look straight ahead. Pull your shoulder blades back and down to restore the natural curve of your neck.
