What is Text Neck?
Text neck (also known as forward neck posture) happens when your head shift forward in front of your shoulders — usually from looking down at your phone or slouching while using a computer.
This poor posture puts extra strain on your neck muscles and joints, which can lead to stiffness, discomfort, headaches, and pain over time.
Why Proper Posture Matters (Head Weight Effect)
Your head weighs about 4 – 5 kg.
When it tilts forward, the load on your neck can increase up to 20–25 kg.
👉 More forward = more strain = higher risk of pain and injury.
