Do you always have neck pain when your head is forward, neck slumped and shoulders slouched and rounded as you scroll through your phone? If yes, this is the text neck position. Text neck position is the result of spending long hours hunched over your screens. When you tilt your heads forward to look at your devices, you put extra stress on your neck muscles and spine. Which causes neck pain. And if this continues, you will soon say “hi” to aches and pains around your neck and shoulders. In the long run, it can even cause tightness and compression of the neck muscles, ligaments and tendons. Further, it can even change the curvature of your spine. Now that you are aware, there are a few things that you can do to fix this. Tips to fix text neck position Here are three things that have worked for me.
