In the age of smartphones, laptops, and work-from-home setups, “Tech Neck” has become a modern-day epidemic—especially among office workers, students, and homemakers in Nagpur. Stiff neck, shoulder pain, and upper back tension are some of the most common complaints we receive at Physiook’s Home Physiotherapy Services in Nagpur.
The good news? You can reverse and prevent tech neck with a few simple physiotherapy exercises at home.
📱 What is Tech Neck?
“Tech Neck” refers to the strain on the neck and upper spine caused by looking down at devices for long hours. This poor posture leads to:
-
Neck and shoulder stiffness
-
Headaches
-
Poor posture (hunched back)
-
Muscle fatigue
-
Reduced flexibility
If left untreated, it can even lead to cervical spondylosis or disc issues.
