ISSUE
How is your neck doing?
Your head weighs about 5 kg. The further you tilt it towards a phone or laptop, the heavier the load on your neck. Everyday posture may be behind your stiff shoulders and back pain.
Load on the neck at a 60° tilt
About 5 kg upright, 18 kg at 30° and roughly five times as much at 60°.*1
Daily increase in screen time
Time spent in front of screens rose sharply during the COVID-19 pandemic.*2
Young women with a reversed neck curve
In about 30% of young Japanese women, the natural curve of the neck is reversed (kyphotic).*4
