📲 3 ways to combat text neck!!

Now that we’re all back to work and school after summer vacations, many of us are looking at our screens even more.

If your head is forward or shoulders slouched, it could be “text neck” and could create even worse problems (like headaches or back pain) over time.

Try these things:

1️⃣Bring Phone to Eye-Level

If you’re sitting at a desk while looking at your phone, prop it up on a stand. If you’re sitting on a couch or chair, prop your elbows on your stomach area so that your phone is in front of your face. Walking while looking at your phone? Your arms may just need to get tired.

2️⃣ Take Stretch Breaks

Take breaks to do some neck rolls, shoulder stretches, or just stare off into the distance. These breaks will not only benefit your posture but also help relax your vision and refresh your brain.

3️⃣ Open an App!

Ironically, the solution could be the same as the problem: an app! There are several apps that will guide you through exercises to improve posture, and most can be done in just 5 minutes a day.
