Text Neck Is Real — And Summer Makes It Worse
Scrolling by the pool sounds relaxing — but your neck has a different opinion. 😅
Text neck is real, and summer screen habits are making it worse. Every inch your head drops forward adds about 10 lbs of extra pressure to your cervical spine. That tension builds up fast, especially when you're lounging in positions your spine wasn't designed for.
Here's how to protect yourself this summer:
📲 Hold your phone or tablet at eye level
🧘 Gently tuck your chin — don't jut your head forward
⏱ Set a 20-minute reminder to look up and move your neck
Your nervous system and spinal health are connected to everything — how you sleep, how you focus, and how you feel. Don't let summer habits create problems that follow you into fall.
