Text neck is the term used to describe the position of your head and neck from looking down at your mobile, tablet or laptops too frequently and for too long, resulting in injury and neck pain.

Of course, this posture of bending your neck to look down does not occur only when texting. For years, weÔÇÖve all looked down to read. The problem with texting is that it adds one more activity that causes us to look downÔÇöand people tend to do it for much longer periods. It is especially concerning because young, growing children could possibly cause permanent damage to their cervical spines that could lead to lifelong neck pain.

According to research, with the development in technology and mobile phone usage, we now spend an average of 2-4 hours a day with our heads dropped down. This results in 700-1,400 hours a year of excess strain on the cervical spine.
