The Text Neck … something we're all prone to considering the amount of time we spend hunched over our smartphones, ipads and laptops. All the slouching not only puts stress on our neck, upper and lower spine but can lead to premature wear and tear and accelerate degenerative diseases of the spine. Of course, technology is here to stay and we can't avoid it altogether. What we can do is be more aware of our posture when using our smartphone and devices i.e. while using them, try to sit upright and maintain a neutral spine.
While on a break try this yoga pose to restore flexibility and strength in your neck and spine:
Stand, clasp hands behind back, and take a big inhale to open the chest.
On the exhale, soften knees and fold forward, letting head fall toward the ground and gently releasing the neck.
