Neck pain
Neck pain is often linked to posture (screens, smartphones) and stress. A program of gentle mobility and deep neck-muscle strengthening reliably eases this kind of tension.
Common causes
- Prolonged screen time
- Text-neck syndrome (smartphone use)
- Stress and muscle tension
- Cervical osteoarthritis
- Torticollis or neck sprain
- Poor sleeping posture
Common symptoms
- Neck stiffness on waking
- Pain radiating to the shoulders or arms
- Cervicogenic headaches
- Positional dizziness
- Clicking with neck movements
When to see a doctor
- Pain after an accident (whiplash)
- Numbness or weakness in the arms
- Severe, unusual headaches
- Intense dizziness or loss of balance
- Fever with neck stiffness
Tips to get started
Position your screen at eye level
Take a break every 30 minutes to move your neck
Sleep with a pillow suited to your position
Gentle mobility exercises beat forced stretching
