CAUSES OF TECH NECK AND THE REMEDIES

Tech neck is a term used to describe neck pain and related symptoms that result from prolonged use of electronic devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops. When you bend your head forward to look at a screen for extended periods, it puts strain on your neck muscles, spine, and upper back, leading to discomfort or even long-term health issues.

Causes of Tech Neck:Common Symptoms:

  • Stiffness or pain in the neck and shoulders
  • Headaches
  • Tingling or numbness in arms or hands
  • Poor posture (e.g., rounded shoulders or forward head position)

Why It Matters:

The human head weighs about 10–12 pounds. When you tilt it forward at a 45-degree angle (common with phone use), the stress on your neck can increase to about 40–50 pounds! Over time, this can lead to chronic neck and spine problems.

Prevention Tips:

  • Keep devices at eye level
  • Take regular breaks to stretch and move
  • Practice good posture
  • Use ergonomic chairs and desks
  • Strengthen neck and upper back muscles through exercise

Addressing tech neck early helps avoid long-term damage. Simple adjustments to your daily habits can make a big difference! No


  • Looking down at your phone for long periods
  • Poor posture while using laptops or desktops
  • Craning your neck forward while watching screens

Common Symptoms:

  • Stiffness or pain in the neck and shoulders
  • Headaches
  • Tingling or numbness in arms or hands
  • Poor posture (e.g., rounded shoulders or forward head position)

HEALTH BENEFITS OF SOMATIC YOGA  What is Somatic Yoga? Somatic Yoga is a gentle form of movement practice that combines traditional yoga postures with somatic awareness techniques. “Somatic” means “of the body,” and in this context, it refers to consciously sensing and moving the body from within.

Reduces Chronic Muscle Tension Helps release long-held muscular contractions caused by stress, trauma, or repetitive habits. 2. Improves Posture and Movement Re-educates the body to move more efficiently and with ease, improving balance and alignment. 3.
