Tech Neck Workshop

Tech Neck” is an overuse syndrome caused by the repetitive stress of holding one’s head in a forward and downward position for extended periods of time.  This position creates excessive amounts of tension in the deep neck muscles of the neck and across the shoulders, causing both acute and chronic neck pain, shoulder pain, upper back pain, headache, jaw pain, insomnia and increased thoracic curvature (kyphosis).Recently, the prevalence of this syndrome is on the rise due to increasing hours spent on handheld devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptop computers.  In this workshop, we will discuss the anatomy and physiology of the tissues affected by tech neck posture. One of the best ways to remedy tech neck is through exercise.  We will learn some of the best strengthening exercises and stretches to help eliminate the symptoms of tech neck.  With this knowledge and practical experience, you will feel confident in treating your own tech neck and helping others who suffer from it.
