Are you reading this on a laptop? Good for you (and thank you). But I bet a bunch of you are reading this on your phone. And even if not, you’ll be scrolling through social media at some point today. Boom! You just dropped sixty pounds of crushing pressure onto your neck. Sixty. No exaggeration.
Your spine is a masterpiece of biomechanical engineering. Modern habits, though, treat it like an afterthought. Like many health issues, spine problems are, to a great extent, self-inflicted. Sure, your spine might suffer due to trauma, infection, or even bad genes. But more likely, it comes from a motion we repeat all day long: staring down at our phones.
