Are you concerned about developing the Grandma Hump? Don’t worry – it’s not genetic, but it’s getting way more common with the emergence of tech neck…
The fancy name for the abnormal curve of the upper back that results in a hunched posture and a bump at the base of the neck is called a ‘Dowager’s Hump.’
Since this problem is most easily seen in elderly women I can understand if you assumed you don’t need to worry about it…
Tech Neck. Yep, that’s a real thing. And if you own a smartphone, you’ve likely got it. Tight shoulders, sore neck muscles, fatigue, headaches…
These are all signs you’ve got ‘the Tech Neck’ but don’t worry, I’m not going to pretend you are going to stop using your smartphone.
I bet you are ‘aching’ to know the answer… Sorry, that was a pretty lame pun 🙂
Pain is a big deal. Whether it’s back pain, neck pain, headaches or otherwise, it can seriously screw up your life and, at least in most cases, can stop you from doing the things you love and want to do.
I can relate… 4 years ago I injured my back trying to lift more weight than my body was prepared for. It put me out… literally – down on hands and knees crawling… Believe me when I say, I’ve been there.
