A PAIN IN THE NECK

If you spend lots of time on devices, we've got a hunch you might want to read this

How much time do you spend on your phone each day? The average Aussie spends more than 2.5 hours hunched over their smartphones according to latest research by Deloitte – and that’s not counting other devices such as laptops and tablets.

Unfortunately, all that daily scrolling and texting can throw our alignment out of whack.

Chiropractor Dr Ali Young says this can put us at risk of developing a musculoskeletal condition called Tension Neck Syndrome, otherwise known as “tech neck”.

“Anyone who regularly uses a mobile phone, tablet or computer at home, at work or school, or during leisure time, is at risk of developing tech neck,” she says.
