Okay. Now you could see how straight everything is when you’re in an upright position with good posture, but can you imagine as you look down on your phone or your laptop? for hours and hours and hours What happens over here you get a stretch to the back of these skull bone muscles and these wires these yellow wires Which I’m going to show you right now These yellow wires which are the peripheral nerves or what they call nerve endings. Headache or Neck Pain Suffering They attach between bone and muscle to send electrical signals up and down the head and into the middle of the back now the head is about He’s about 12 pounds or so.

Well Headache or Neck Pain Suffering, that’s exactly what Tech Neck is. It’s bad posturing because we sit for probably six hours of our day we don’t even realize it especially now that we’re working from home and a lot of these muscles in the back over here are called the erector spinae And you have the rhomboid muscles in the middle traps all the anatomy all these tissues over here have nerve endings in them and you can imagine nerves or wires and it can get stretched and pulled and when they get pulled they get squeezed and that squeeze sends a signal up to the brain and the brain processes it as Protection go ahead and protect.
And it creates a spasm and that spasm sets off Muscle tension and you feel like knots in their trigger points Which are bumpy areas around the muscles where you feel like when you press in your neck It feels like you want to jump.

So what I am doing, I’m actually pulling on the nerve endings on my upper back now It’s better to do this without A shirt on so it’s right on the skin because really what it does is if you look at this rubber band it has the ability to Pull and it kind of slides up and down the skin.

I mean if you know, if you’re vegetarian, you’ve seen chicken and you rip off the skin and then you have that clear Covering on the meat and if you peel it off it looks like cellophane paper and it’s very very thin but that’s what holds those nerve endings in place and those nerve endings are the Pain fibers that can send pain up and down into the spinal cord and create a painful Feeling that you may have so with tech neck A lot of people will say I have tension in my neck And I feel like I have to kind of pop it or I can’t I feel like I have to constantly turn my neck side To side nothing makes me comfortable or they’ll also say something like it goes into my eye right above my eyeball.
