<span><span><b>Even if you've never heard of “text neck,” you’ve probably felt it.</b><br/>
<br/>
The human head weighs about 5 kilograms. However, as the neck bends forward and down, the weight on your spine begins to increase.<br/>
<br/>
It's likely you don't even realize how often you're looking down at your phone, texting a friend, scrolling through pictures, reading updates, or playing a game.<br/>
<br/>
How could using a phone cause so much hurt? It's all in how you look at it – literally. Three things happen when you drop your neck: it moves forward, pulls your shoulders with it (or they lift toward your ears) and boom! Your neck and shoulder muscles spasm (meaning they contract, or become shorter and tighter).<br/>
<br/>
Over time, that wrong alignment can add up to be a real pain in the neck - and cause serious wear and tear on your structures.<br/>
<br/>
According to a study in New York, people spend 2-4 hours a day on average with heads tilted over their devices.</span></span> “Cumulatively (added up) this is 700 to 1400 hours a year of excess stresses seen about the cervical spine,” the study says. For a high school student, it is possible to spend an extra 5000 hours in poor posture.<span><br/>
