It's Posture Month! And there is growing concern about the damage digital devices are causing to our muscles and joints. It even has it's own name: "tech neck" or "text neck." You have seen the teenagers slumped over a screen scrolling and tapping the day away on their phone or other device. These poor posture habits are causing headaches, neck and back problems younger and younger. By allowing the head to hang forward, this adds pounds of weight on the neck and upper back, eventually leading to aches and pains and chronic changes if not corrected. The problems created by poor posture are many, but the solution is simple: straighten up! Picture yourself as a puppet with a string attached to the top of your head. Now act like someone is pulling you straight up into a better posture. Your head should be directly over your shoulders with your chest up and shoulders back. Now you have to turn it into a habit so keep reminding yourself and hold the devices up so you stop looking down.
