• Long hours of computer or mobile usage (Tech Neck)

• Improper sleeping position

Common Symptoms

• Stiffness while turning the head

If left untreated, neck pain can become chronic and affect daily activities, work productivity, and sleep quality.

Physiotherapy Tips to Reduce Neck Pain

1️⃣ Maintain Proper Posture

Keep your screen at eye level, shoulders relaxed, and back straight while sitting. Avoid bending your neck forward for long periods.

2️⃣ Take Frequent Breaks

Follow the 30–45 minute rule — stand up, stretch, and move around to prevent muscle stiffness.

3️⃣ Do Gentle Neck Stretches

Slow side bends, rotations, and chin tucks can improve flexibility and reduce tension.

4️⃣ Strengthen Supporting Muscles

Strengthening upper back and shoulder muscles helps support proper neck alignment.

5️⃣ Use a Proper Pillow

Choose a pillow that keeps your neck aligned with your spine — not too high or too flat.

6️⃣ Avoid Mobile Overuse

Hold your phone at eye level instead of looking down for long periods.
