How the weight of your head varies with your posture

The average human head weighs 10-12 pounds when in perfect posture with the head aligned at 0 degrees. However, the weight of the head significantly increases when it is tilted forward. For example, at a 15-degree angle, the head weighs 27 pounds, at 30 degrees it weighs 40 pounds, at 45 degrees it weighs 49 pounds, and at 60 degrees it weighs a whopping 60 pounds. Looking down at a phone, tablet, or computer screen creates an increased angle, putting extra strain on the neck muscles resulting in Tech Neck, technically known as cervicalgia. Some people also call it Text Neck - get it?

The best way to prevent it is to keep your screens at eye level, take breaks and stretch.

Here are some of the ways we relieve Tech Neck…
