What are the 4 most common causes of neck stiffness & forward head posture?

Everyone seems to have stiffness, soreness, and tightness at the base of the neck nowadays. Some call it “Tech Neck” or “Text Neck” but if neck and shoulder pain hangs around, chronically, even after massage or exercise there’s a good chance there are some vertebrae stuck down where your neck meets your shoulders.

So much of it is avoidable though! So, in this video we check out the mechanics of what happens in this condition and the four common causes.

I'm a IT guy always using the laptop for long hours and developed forward head posture . To correct this u can use a laptop stand to elevate your screen to eye level. and make sure u get the right one, that lifts up the whole laptop and supports it strongly..

[IntoTheWeeds]

I have been to multiple physios after noticing the beginning of a hump, and I've never had it explained as well or as simply as you just did. Love your videos. One quick question: when sitting on a chair and trying to maintain good posture, your lower back is is pushed to the back of the chair, but should your upper back lean back against the chair, or be propped up by itself so only your lower back is in contact with the back of the chair?

Well, this is only good advices I've followed every days for years (no smartphone at all, elevated screen, ...), but what if I still have neck stiffness and forward head posture when spending 6 to 8 hours in front of screen for work and for fun ? Wouldn't u advice stand up desk instead ?
