DID YOU KNOW? Tilting your head forward 60 degrees to read a text message or check out a selfie on your phone means 60 POUNDS OF PRESSURE ON YOUR NECK? “But its not just the big slump that could eventually cause you to look like Lurch. Tilting your head a mere 15 degrees puts 27 pounds of pressure on your spine; a 30 degree neck tilt could equal 40 pounds of pressure; a 45 degree tilt adds the force of 49 pounds.” Weve posted about “text neck” before, but it’s easy to underestimate just how much additional stress is placed on the cervical spine when we tilt our heads forward—even a little. Kudos to CBS news for running a story on this earlier this month.
