In today's digital age, we spend hours hunched over smartphones, laptops, and tablets. While technology simplifies life, it has also led to a rapidly growing health issue.
Tech Neck occurs when you repeatedly tilt your head forward while using digital devices. This posture places excessive strain on the neck and spine, leading to pain and long-term damage.
"Your head weighs around 4-5 kg when upright."
When tilted forward at 60°, it exerts 25-27 kg of force on your neck.

If left untreated, Tech Neck can lead to serious spinal conditions:
Pull chin straight back to strengthen deep neck flexors. Hold for 5 seconds, repeat 10 times.

Roll shoulders backward in circular motion. Repeat 10-15 times to release tension.
