Like many of us, I spend hours at a time staring at a screen during the working day, not to mention far too much time doom-scrolling in the evening. And I'm sure I'm not alone when I say my neck, shoulders and posture really pay the price for it. They're achy by the end of the day, and recently I've even been waking up with a stiff, sore neck.
It's perhaps no surprise, then, that research suggests that prolonged screen time can significantly increase the strain placed on the neck and shoulders, contributing to what's now known as "text neck". If you've not come across the term before, it's exactly what it sounds like: a condition linked to looking down at devices for too long.
