Is Your Phone Causing Tech Neck?
Bottom Line:

Staying connected to friends and family, catching up with emails, reading the latest news, watching our favourite TV episodes and playing games can come at a price! As a society we are spending to much time looking down at our mobile phones. Screen time may be anything from 1, 2, 3 hours or more depending on your use. Let's face it, a lot of these hours are spent in an awkward forward head posture that experts have begun to call 'tech neck'.

A 'tech neck' can result in neck and upper back pain, stress and tension, headaches, spinal disc issues, and even trapped nerves.

Here at the AMI Clinic in Bedford we work with people who are experiencing these symptoms associated with a 'tech neck'. We offer advise our patients on how poor posture using a mobile phone can lead to dysfunction and symptoms abd advise on how simple stretches, using the correct posture  and postural exercises can help you to overcome the aches and pains associated with a 'tech neck' - keeping you connected!




Sounds like a plan! So next time you are on your mobile phone, stop for a moment and see if your head is forward and your chin is tucked down and your ears are in front of your shoulders - if so you are in the forward head posture we call 'tech neck'! It would therefore be a good time to take a break, stretch and reset.
