RICH'S LIFE HACKS: Why Does Your Back Hurt?

LIFE HACKS 

YOUR BACK HURTS.. BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID PHONE

The farther you tilt your head forward while staring at your phone, the greater the effective load placed on your neck. 

At a steep angle, estimates suggest the forces on your cervical spine can approach 60 pounds. Over time, constantly hunching over a screen can contribute to neck and upper-back discomfort. Try bringing your phone closer to eye level, taking regular screen breaks, and occasionally rolling your shoulders back. Your neck will appreciate it.
