Text Neck is a modern postural condition caused by prolonged forward head posture while using smartphones, tablets, or laptops. This abnormal spinal alignment increases strain on the neck muscles, ligaments, and discs, often leading to pain, stiffness, headaches, and long-term spinal changes. Early physiotherapy intervention, ergonomic correction, and targeted exercises can effectively reverse symptoms and prevent chronic complications.
