Tech neck can occur both in the office and at home. In the office, you may have a “neck-healthy” workstation with the appropriate desk, chair, and computer setup. Still, you may have neck pain. Studies support stretching, resting, and fine-tuning your workspace to help prevent and relieve pain.
Work-at-home environments can be more problematic for neck and overall musculoskeletal health. For instance, using your laptop while sitting on the sofa, relaxing on your bed, or at the kitchen table further increases the risk of tech neck-related pain. Preventing and relieving neck pain may be even more necessary.
Exercise helps to improve your overall health and prevent injuries to muscles, tendons, and ligaments. When you stretch your neck, upper back, and shoulder muscles, it helps relieve pain in the short term, which is something you can do when using technology.
Evidence shows that regular stretching and strengthening exercises help to improve both the flexibility and strength of your muscles, as well as the ligaments and tendons that support them.
