Friends, in today's modern age, we spend most of our time staring at laptops and mobile phones, which can lead to a variety of health problems. A common problem seen in young people is tech neck, which is pain and stiffness in the neck and shoulders due to poor posture while using devices. This can also cause headaches and prolonged muscle strain. If you want to get relief from this, try these tips:
1. Maintain proper posture
The main cause of tech neck is bending your neck down while looking at a screen. To maintain a straight posture, always keep your laptop or mobile at eye level.
2. Take short breaks every 30 minutes
Sitting in the same position for too long can cause stiffness in the neck and shoulders. To keep your muscles flexible, gently move your neck from side to side, stretch your arms, or take a walk for a minute or two.
3. Limit Screen Time
After work, avoid spending too much time on your phone or laptop. Reducing screen time gives your neck and eyes a break, which can prevent further discomfort.
4. Exercise for the Neck and Shoulders
Regular stretching and yoga can greatly help relieve tech neck. Asanas like Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose), Tadasana (Mountain Pose), and Gomukhasana (Cow Face Pose) improve posture and reduce muscle tension.
5. Maintain Correct Sleeping Posture
Your sleeping posture plays a huge role in neck health. Avoid using pillows that are too high or too firm. Choose a supportive pillow that keeps your neck in its natural curve.
