Is Technology the New Health Pandemic? 📱💻
Your back hurts, your neck hurts, and your traps feel tense. You’re lacking range of motion in your spine. This isn’t because you slept wrong.
With phones and screens dominating our lives, we’ve become less aware of how our bodies move and feel. The truth is, our health should always be the priority. Why wait until your neck or lower back hurts before taking action?
Did you know your head weighs about 12–15 pounds?
Imagine holding a dumbbell that heavy in front of you, it wouldn’t take long before your muscles start to ache. That’s the same strain poor posture puts on your neck and spine daily.
But the good news is, small adjustments add up. This is called positive stacking, tiny habits that protect your body and keep you moving in the right direction.
Its all about awareness isn't it! And Thats a big start!.......
Quick Tips for Better Posture:
Be mindful of your head position, leaning forward or rounding your chest = poor posture.
Sit towards the edge of your chair and imagine a string pulling you tall from the top of your head.
Elevate your laptop to eye level with books or a riser.
If you have a standing desk, use it! Stand at least 20 minutes each hour—bonus:
you burn ~100 calories every hour you stand.
While on your phone keep it high
