Read Below for an explanation of the "Tech Neck" posture habit and how it's impacting you.
The "Tech Neck" Posture Habit is easily recognized in people by the appearance of forward head posture where the head is leaning so it sits above the chest, rather than upright on top of the shoulders.
This Posture Habit is named The "Tech Neck" because it is typically associated with the use of technology and looking down at screens and devices.
Therefore, this Posture Habit is common amongst those who work in offices and at desks where they look down at computers all day. It is also seen in people who do line work where they're looking down at products all day. And i. it is, of course, prevalent in young people looking down at their cell phones and other mobile devices.
This forward positioning of the cervical spine (a fancy name for the neck) can lead to a wide range of adverse health consequences.
If your posture habit is the "Teck Neck," the impacts and symptoms can vary dramatically, with some of the first warning signs being back pain, nagging aches, neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches, and migraines. Considering how wide-ranging the symptoms can be, it's strongly advised that you speak to a qualified posture and spine expert for a personalized assessment.
“The quickest way to change your emotional state is to
change your body.” – Tony Robbins
1.
Make your workstation ergonomically correct. If you spend most of your day behind a desk, this is one of the easiest things you can do (and you will thank me you did - the difference can be unbelievable.) If you work at a desk, look online and learn how to adjust your chair to your body. Ensure your monitor or screen is directly eye level, keep your keyboard directly in front of you, and close to your body.
2.
Lie flat on the ground for three to five minutes once a day without any cushions or support. When you do, allow your body to relax, this simple exercise can help your body realign and readjust to its natural resting position.
3.
Reduce your head's elevation while sleeping by minimizing the number or thickness of the pillows you sleep on. Sleeping on too many pillows where your head is too elevated can lead to the "Tech Neck" as well. This can be a challenging adjustment for some people; the secret is to slowly make minor adjustments over time.
Hey there I’m Dr. Kory Wahl, I’m a Chiropractor with a special interest in posture in Winnipeg Manitoba.
I help individuals (just like you) improve their posture, get rid of nagging back and neck pain, and live happier and healthier lives.
One thing I've learned over time is the healthiest individuals (in most cases) are those who have the best habits. Whether those are fitness habits, eating habits, or "Posture Habits." Basically, it's the little things that make a massive difference over time.
Good habits are incredible, and they empower you to create and maintain a healthy lifestyle, but bad habits are often more powerful. Why? Because, unlike good habits, they often require little work and are easy to fall into.
The problem is these simple Posture Habits can cause you severe, long-term pain, aches, and discomfort. Pain and discomfort you might already be experiencing and living with. The problem is most people never realize their posture, or maybe some trauma that leads to similar structural problems.
But no matter what poor posture, back pain, neck pain or other structurally related symptoms you're dealing with, there is a solution.
