Neck Exercises for Text Neck Syndrome
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether specific neck-strengthening exercises, with or without a hands-on technique called reverse natural apophyseal glides, help relieve neck pain and posture problems caused by looking down at phones and screens. You'll do exercises over several weeks to see if your symptoms improve.
