Flexing your neck while texting or when you are on your phone, causes more pressure on your neck muscles and cervical spine, causing premature degeneration and arthritis of these joints. The resulting sensation of tension in the neck and upper back muscles is occasionally referred to at "Text Neck." Early management is required and if left untreated, it would lead to permanent damage to your spine, joints, muscles and even nerves, which may lead to surgical intervention as an end result. 

​

But remember: The earlier you seek therapy, the better the results are.

​

• So, when to seek therapy? If you experience any of the following symptoms:

• Acute or chronic pain in your neck, upper back, shoulders, even in your hands and fingers as nerve damage may occur in chronic cases, together with tingling and numbness.

• Stiffness in your neck, upper back muscles and also your shoulders.

• Postural changes as a result of neck flexion for long time daily as a result of bones, muscle and ligaments distortion.
