Is your smartphone making you sore?

Shooting pain down your neck? Or maybe your shoulders and back have been feeling sore?

You could be suffering from “text neck“, ie. an ailment due to the bad posture you’ve adopted thanks to being glued to your cell phone, iPad or laptop.

The good news? Taking breaks from texting and doing a few exercises to strengthen your neck and shoulder muscles will help.

I don’t suffer from text neck as I’m still trying to get my hands on on iPhone 4. And it looks like it’ll be a long wait til the stars align and I happen to come across a store with one in stock.

But it’s the only phone I want.

Yes, it’s the only phone I want — even if I may suffer from text neck once I get one. Although sometimes I think I may be like this character in this video. I first viewed this cartoon in the summer, oh but it still makes me laugh as much as when I first saw it. (Warning: lots of swearing–so listen with earphones if you’re at the office, and don’t view it at all if you’re offended at all by crassness–although you’d be missing out…).
