  1. Prevention Techniques to Avert Neck Pain

  2. Don’t Be Bothered by Neck Pain • No one likes the feeling of waking up with neck pain, knowing they’re going to be rubbing their sore, uncomfortable neck all day long. • While you might blame it on sleeping at a bad angle, there are many causes for neck pain. • That’s why we’ve put together this guide on how to avoid the small injuries and strains to the muscles and ligaments during day-to-day life that lead to neck pain.

  3. Practicing good ergonomics while working on computers can do wonders for preventing not only neck pain, but back pain too. • Your computer monitor should be at eye level. To make sure it’s in the right spot, sit in front of your computer, close and open your eyes, and your gaze should fix on the centre of the screen. Set Up a Strain-Free Work Station

  4. We live in a digital world and we’re spending more time than ever texting, tweeting and trawling through the Internet on our phones and tablets. • But staring down at your smartphone for a prolonged period of time could be wreaking havoc on the joints and ligaments in your neck. Take Time Out From Technology

  5. Avoid adding excess stress on your neck by taking breaks from your tech. • If you must check it, try to keep the device at eye level or resting your hands and the device on an even surface. Take Time Out From Technology (cont’d)

  6. If your neck truly is suffering after sleep, there are a few things you can do to snooze without the stress. • Start with a good pillow. Each person will find they have their own individual needs, and it may require some trial and error to find the right one for you. But a good rule of thumb is to find a pillow that supports the natural curve of your neck. Sleep Without Strain

  7. If your pillow is perfect, you can try a different sleeping position. • Sleeping on your back is the best option as it gives the spine a rest. But if you’re a side sleeper, just try to make sure your pillow isn’t too high, as this can lead to unnatural bending and turning of the neck. Sleep Without Strain (cont’d)
