Get Started
Do you wake up with a stiff neck and pain?
Is it uncomfortable to turn your neck from side to side?
Your neck is designed to have a forward curve and constant stress can have an impact on that curve, leading to neck pain.
Traumas and Accidents - Whiplash injuries, sports accidents, and other accidents from your past can
lead to a decreased or reverse curve.
It Never Developed - The forward neck curve develops when we are babies. This primarily happens as we crawl and have tummy time, which ideally forces us to look upward and develop this curve. Decreased tummy time, rushed walking, and even baby activity centers and walkers stop or severely limit the development.
Chronic Looking Down -This is most commonly associated with technology, hence the name "tech neck." Phone use, computer screen time, and TV watching are almost exclusively done while looking down. Do that for hours on end, day after day, and you end up with an adapted neck that has no curve.
