Do you have neck pain after texting or playing on your phone for long periods of time? Your posture may be to blame. If you find yourself slouching or resting your chin on your chest, you can be putting a lot of unnecessary stress on your neck and shoulders.

"Research shows that for every inch you drop your head forward, you double the load on those muscles."
To correct your posture and reduce stress on your neck, elevate your chest, bring your arms comfortably along your sides, and slightly tuck your chin.
