‘Tech neck’: Technology’s effect on your neck
The average person checks their phone 58 times daily, spending over 3 hours hunched forward in what doctors are now calling an epidemic of “tech neck.”
Bending your head at just 45 degrees creates the equivalent of holding a 60-pound weight on your neck.
Your 10-pound head becomes a 60-pound burden every time you look down at your screen.
Doctors are seeing 20-year-olds with the neck problems of 50-year-olds, presenting with chronic pain, persistent headaches, and spinal pressure radiating down their entire back.
Your body sacrifices posture for vision every single time.
You’ll unconsciously crane your neck, roll your shoulders, and compress your spine just to see that notification clearly.
We’ve literally reshaped our bodies around our devices.
As you age, spinal discs naturally narrow and lose support. Tech neck accelerates this degenerative process by decades.
Children might seem less affected now, but the damage is accumulating silently. By their 20s, muscle fatigue sets in permanently.
The solution isn’t ergonomic chairs or posture apps – it’s creating a healthier relationship with technology entirely.
Our Digital Wellness Bundle helps you find balance between screen time and self-care.
