What are Cell Phones Doing to our Neck and Backs

"Text Neck" this is caused by constantly hunching over your phones. This really aggravates muscle pain in your shoulders, neck, and sometimes even your lower back. Looking down, dropping you head forward it all changers the natural curvature of your neck. There are three things that happen by dropping your head 1- your neck moves forward, 2- your shoulders round forward or lift up toward your eyes, and 3- your neck and shoulder muscles spasm. Did you know that your neck is only supposed to support 10-12 pounds in your neck's proper position? Every inch that your head drops you actually double the load putting an extra 60 pounds of force on your neck muscles!
