3 tips to avoid neck pain
We’ve treated countless clients who come in that are suffering from acute neck pain! Neck pain can be super uncomfortable and can often leave you with little to no neck movement but with these super simple tips you can avoid acute neck pain!
They say that prevention is easier than finding a cure, and they are right!
By following these three tips you can prevent neck pain
- Our first tip
Avoid using your laptop or tablet while you’re in bed. A lot of clients don’t really know how much damage can be done when doing this. Using devices while lying down or reclining is putting extended strain on your neck. The posture that occurs when using devices in bed is extremely flexed with little to no support for your arms.

Our second tip
Relates to anyone who works at desk, and it is a big one! If you’re like the majority, you’ll be stuck at your desk all day so you may as well make it good for your body! A few simple adjustments can mean the world of difference for your neck. First of all, ensure that your seat is high enough, allowing your hips to be either level or higher than your knees but still have your feet flat on the ground. The second adjustment involves your computer monitor, try adjusting it so you are looking straight towards it rather than down.

Our third tip
Get standing more often, simple but very effective!
By standing up, you naturally pull yourself into better alignment, if you have the opportunity then a sit to standing desk is an amazing investment. You can also incorporate standing into other work tasks like answering the phone, reading notes, or simply walking over to the person you need to talk to rather than emailing or calling them.
