Time Spent On Screens Call For Exercises For The Neck

Many people spend their days looking at a computer screen or looking down at a textbook or smartphone.

This results in a lot of neck pain.

Researchers suggest some exercises to alleviate the stress on the neck muscles.

1.  Try to "reverse the forward and down head positioning by pulling your chin back so that your head sits back between your shoulders."

2.  "Sit with good upright posture with your head situated directly over your torso.  Nod your head yes to feel for how much motion you have in the top most neck joint.  Hold the bottom of the nod which creates a small double chin."

3.  "Sit or stand with your hands clasped behind your head.  Open your elbows out to the side and squeeze your shoulder blades back."


4.  "Sit at the edge of your seat.  have your legs apart with your feet turned out at a 45 degree angle.  Next, hang you arms loosely at your sides with your palms facing forward.  Sit up straight in a neutral position. Bring your head back so it's directly over your shoulders. Take about 10 deep breaths in and out."
