The Tech Neck Epidemic
IT professionals and tech workers in Faridabad and Delhi NCR spend 8-12 hours daily looking at screens. Forward head posture -- where the head juts forward relative to the shoulders -- places up to 27kg of extra load on the cervical spine for every inch of forward displacement.
Consequences of Chronic Tech Neck
- Cervical muscle fatigue and chronic neck pain
- Cervicogenic headaches (headaches originating from the neck)
- Upper trapezius trigger points causing shoulder and arm referral
- Thoracic outlet syndrome causing arm tingling
- Reduced concentration and work productivity
Physiotherapy Treatment Programme
- Deep cervical flexor strengthening (the most evidence-based treatment for tech neck)
- Thoracic mobility exercises to restore thoracic extension
- Postural correction and ergonomic workspace assessment
- Trigger point release for trapezius, levator scapulae, and suboccipital muscles
- 10-minute daily exercise programme for sustained results
Workplace Ergonomics
Screen height, chair height, keyboard position, and lighting all contribute to tech neck. Our physiotherapists provide specific ergonomic recommendations for your work setup.
