Neck Pain – “Text Neck”<\/h2>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Posture\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Your neck or cervical spine is a vital structure in supporting your brain and skull. Pain and tension developing in the neck is a very common occurrence in Carindale. With growing life stresses and huge increases in the use of mobile devices throughout Brisbane, it is no surprise.<\/p>\n

Are you currently reading this blog on your phone during your commute to Mount Gravatt East? Text neck or forward head carriage is a major culprit for the development of most people\u2019s pain, tension and in extreme cases headaches. If we combine the mobile device technology boom with car travel and sedentary jobs, it is no wonder we as a society struggle with neck pain.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s consider how much we use out devices in a day. For example your day involves breakfast \u2013 commute to work \u2013 work \u2013 lunch \u2013 work
commute home \u2013 exercise \u2013 relax.\"Neck<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Breakfast <\/b>\u2013 read news on your tablet or laptop.<\/p>\n

Commute to work<\/b> \u2013 Facebook\/YouTube\/Netflix on tablet or smartphone.<\/p>\n

Tip<\/b> \u2013 maybe try listening to an informative podcast that does not require you slump on your device with a forward head carriage.<\/p>\n

Work<\/b> \u2013 Those of use with sedentary jobs are often slumped at our computers stressed with deadlines.<\/p>\n

Tip<\/b> \u2013 Ensure desk ergonomics are perfect (refer to one of our informative sitting\/stand and sleeping workshops) Try to get up and walk around the office every hour at least.<\/p>\n

Lunch<\/b>\u00a0 \u2013\u00a0 Quick bite slumped over a table.<\/p>\n

Tip<\/b> \u2013 Take your healthy lunch on a walk down the street or through a park.<\/p>\n

Exercise <\/b>\u2013 So commonly I see people at the gym hunched over there mobile phone between sets of weights or while on the bike\/treadmill.<\/p>\n

Tip\u00a0<\/b>\u2013\u00a0Try to have a technology free hour at the gym to get the most out of your workout and reduce strain on your neck.<\/p>\n

Relax\u00a0<\/b>\u2013\u00a0slump on the couch after a long day.<\/p>\n

As we can see our posture has not got a lot of hope of being upright as it should. Days like the above mentioned are a pretty common occurrence in today\u2019s society and there are several small changes we can make to reduce the likelihood of developing chronic neck conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
