You don’t have to completely shun your electronic devices to protect your neck. The following measures can help.
- Stop and take a short break every 15 or 20 minutes, then move around and change your body and head positions.
- Set your computer monitor at eye level. Raise your smartphone to eye level rather than lowering your head. And get a tablet holder to elevate your device close to eye level.
- Use voice-to-text as often as possible.
- When you’re using a device, spend as much time standing as you do sitting.
- Consult a physical therapist, chiropractor or other healthcare professional for guidance and exercises.
