The Best Exercises for Tech Neck (From La Cañada Chiropractors)
The best (and safest) exercises for tech neck, from doctors who treat it every day at Flintridge Family Chiropractic in La Cañada Flintridge.
If you've Googled "best exercises for tech neck," you've probably seen a dozen conflicting lists. Here's what our doctors actually give patients — and, just as importantly, what we tell them to stop doing.
'Tech neck' is the sustained flexion pattern from phones and laptops — it stresses the cervical spine, shortens the chest, and weakens the deep neck flexors.
Rule #1: Move the Stiff Joints, Stabilize the Loose Ones
Most people with tech neck intuitively stretch the area that hurts. The problem is that the painful area is often the unstable segment — it's already moving too much. Stretching it more can make things worse. The area you actually need to work on is usually the joint above or below.
