Working from home? How’s your neck doing?
Newsflash, human’s just aren’t designed for sitting in front of computers or staring down at phone screens all day. As a result of our use of these technologies, people can develop what is known as a ‘forward head’ posture. This is where the head permanently sits forward out of its normal alignment, putting a mechanical strain on the structures of the neck and upper back.
