Tech neck, or text neck, is a growing concern as Americans spend up to six hours daily looking at mobile devices, often unaware of the strain on their neck. With the head weighing around 11 pounds, bending it excessively can lead to discomfort and stress on the cervical spine. Dr. Phil Grattan, a physical therapist, emphasizes the importance of awareness regarding device usage and offers practical steps to prevent and alleviate this condition, highlighting the need for breaks and better ergonomics in device handling.
Americans spend an average of four to six hours a day looking at mobile devices, leading to conditions like 'tech neck' due to poor posture.
'This is totally something created by us and modifications can help a lot,' says Dr. Phil Grattan on tech neck awareness.
