"Regular posture corrections every half hour can help, says Julia Treleaven, an associate professor at the University of Queensland School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences. She suggests a 10-second hold to correct your posture every half hour, where you elongate the back of the neck and set your shoulder blades apart. Try adding a quick 30-60 second walk during these breaks."
"So, if you have been typing for an hour, switch to a task that doesn't require a screen like a phone call or make a cup of tea. Bring the device to you Tame tech neck by bringing your screen closer to eye level, Cavaleri says. He says small habits, like using a laptop riser or propping your phone on a stand, can significantly reduce"
Prolonged static positions while sitting and using devices create tension and stiffness across the upper body and increase neck strain. Break up sitting every 30 to 45 minutes by standing for 60 to 90 seconds and use active breaks that include deep breaths, shoulder rolls, gentle head turns and chest stretches. Perform posture corrections every half hour with a 10-second hold that elongates the back of the neck and sets the shoulder blades apart, and add a 30–60 second walk. Vary tasks hourly to avoid continuous screen use and bring screens closer to eye level with risers or stands to reduce forward neck posture.
