Understanding Tech Neck

Hello, JANMI community! It's Paulius here, ready to chat about something many of us experience without even realising—Tech Neck. If you've ever felt a stiff neck after looking down at your phone or computer for too long, you're not alone! Let's explore what Tech Neck is, why it happens, and how we can help fix it.

What is Tech Neck?

Imagine your head as a bowling ball sitting on top of a stack of small bones (your neck bones). Normally, these bones hold up your head without any trouble. But when you spend a lot of time looking down at a screen, it’s like your head is getting heavier and heavier. This extra weight can make your neck tired and sore. This is what we call Tech Neck!

Why Does It Happen?

Tech Neck happens because of our modern lifestyle. Think about how often you look down at your phone, tablet, or computer. When you do this, you're bending your neck forward, which puts a lot of strain on your neck muscles and spine. Over time, this can cause pain, stiffness, and even headaches.

What Are the Risks?

- Neck Pain and Stiffness: The most obvious risk is discomfort in your neck and shoulders.

- Headaches: Strain on your neck muscles can sometimes cause headaches.

- Bad Posture: Constantly looking down can lead to poor posture, which can make your muscles weaker and less flexible.

- More Serious Problems: In some cases, long-term Tech Neck can lead to more serious issues like herniated discs or nerve pain.

How JANMI Can Help

At JANMI, we understand how annoying and painful Tech Neck can be. That's why we offer treatments like Trigger Point Therapy and Myofascial Release Therapy to help you feel better.

Trigger Point Therapy

Imagine your muscles as rubber bands. Sometimes, these rubber bands get knots in them, making them tight and sore. Trigger Point Therapy helps to find these knots and gently press on them to release the tension. This can make your neck muscles relax and feel much better.

Myofascial Release Therapy

Your muscles are covered in a thin, stretchy layer called fascia. When you spend too much time in one position, like looking down, this fascia can get tight and make it hard to move. Myofascial Release Therapy involves gently stretching and loosening this fascia, helping your muscles move more freely and reducing pain.

At JANMI, we're all about personalised care. We know that everyone’s experience with Tech Neck is different, so we tailor our treatments to fit your specific needs. Our goal is to help you feel comfortable and pain-free, whether you're using your devices or just living your life.
