Tech neck, also known as cervical kyphosis, can result from having a hunchback slouch or pitched forward head. This posture is often observed in individuals when they’re looking down at their electronic devices. Not only does this put a lot of strain on your neck and shoulders but it can also lead to both upper back pain and even pain and tingling in the arms and hands. This video demonstrates what Tech Neck is and also provides some key exercises that can be used to maintain a healthy cervical spine.
