Do You Text?
Text neck is a very real thing. Over the years, I have seen the areas of muscle tightness move around to different parts of our bodies. It corresponds to the changes in the technology we use. I have less mouse-related shoulder issues and more text-related neck issues as I spend more time on my smart phone and less time on my laptop. This seems to be true of the majority of you that I work on. Yes, I suffer from it too and am learning how to help you thru my own aches and pains.
What we do everyday matters! It can build up, but there is a simple cure. All you need is a little vigilance and effort and do some regular stretching. Taking care of your neck now will also help prevent and alleviate issues in the future such as pinched nerves.
Here’s an excellent website to give you many more stretches and some good background info http://posturedirect.com/how-to-fix-text-neck-syndrome/
