But first: What’s tech neck again?
But apparently that’s not the only thing poor posture can do to the area.
Wood says it also does a major number on our lymphatic drainage.
However, when we aren’t as diligent about tending to ourselves, things can slow down.
Enter: repeated bad posture brought on by tech neck.
“Tech neck can eventually make it hard for that natural flow to occur.
And guess what: This pooling results in that swelling, inflamed feeling I noted above.
Here, Wood’s best advice.
“First and foremost, we have to evaluate your overall health.
“I have personally found that a nice morning routine with alignment will support you throughout the day.
Then do some light stretching before you get into your day.
“It’s important to watch this habit to help prevent poor circulation and tech neck.
See our guides torolling, lymphatic massage, and gua shahere to help you get started.
Or, if you suspect you really need help, see a facialist to guide you.
They can help you by setting you up with the proper self-care for home use,” she says.
