Unfortunately we are all in this same boat, if you have a mobile device or use electronics, then we all deal with tech neck. Fancy version, upper cross syndrome. This syndrome is the result of underactive and overactive muscles in the neck and upper body ALL CAUSED BY SCREENS! Now, here’s where things get uncomfortable, this syndrome can also lead into lower cross syndrome, that’s right the lower body hip region. This means that yes, your tech neck can most certainly lead to hip issues, which can also link up with back issues. When the body is out of balance then your mechanics are off, when your mechanics are off then your movement patterns become compromised.

Something as simple as learning the correct rolling, stretching and corrective exercises could potentially change everything. So while you are reading this I’ll leave you with a little neck stretch that you can do on your own…

Sitting at your desk, wrap one arm around your lower back and grab the wrist with the opposite hand, gently turn your head looking to the side of the arm that is grabbing the wrist, hold for 30 seconds, both sides. Please repeat throughout the day.

Let me know how this works for you, I would love to hear from you!
