Neck pain....oh the irony!

Whilst scrolling on my phone I discovered this article; I hope you find it interesting reading.

Your head weighs about 5kg.

The neck supports the weight of the head which, according to the angle of the inclination, increases. The more we look down, the more our heads weigh. According to the cervical segment that takes weight and stress, the head weight fluctuates to less than 5kg, but if you lean forward, it weighs more and more. When bent at 60 degrees, it charges 22-27 kg on lower cervical vertebrae and down the chest. Indeed, the entire spine.

​What's more, the support plethora of soft tissues, fascia, muscles, ligaments and tendons become tense and tired, which increases tension on joints and discs. If not now, then down the track, this will have an impact on the neck as it gets stiffer and the likelihood of creating problems elsewhere.
