Mobile phones, a pain in the neck

As an owner of a physiotherapy practice I love the fact people in todays society are addicted to their mobile phones. They cause pain and headaches which makes me a lot of money. So before I go on, a big thank you to apple and samsung!! However it deeply saddens me to see so many antisocial people wasting their lives. The following 7 steps will help neck and head pain, reduce stress and most importantly improve your quality of life.

                       

     

                

Step one: Get off your hands off it!! Show appreciation for what you have, hell talk to a stranger, live a little. 

Step two: All social media should be done in the morning or at night in bed on your back with your neck supported. If you need to post during the day get an app to do it for you. If you need to look at social media more than twice a day, how sad and truly boring you are.

Step three: When texting bring your phone to eye level don't bring your head to phone level. With gravity (9.8m/s) acting on the weight of your head (approximately 5kg) its only a matter of time until you neck muscles go into spasm.

Step four: The body likes balance and movement. Change hands, change position, take a break. Do what ever you can to give the body adequate recovery.

Step five: Remember to breathe. Deep breaths down into your diaphragm are essential to avoid upper chest and neck tension.

Step six: Go old school. meet with someone in person, engage them. laugh a little.

Step seven: Get off your phones losers!!
