As a qualified modern person, we cannot leave our mobile phone every day. Apart from being sad, we count our neck as the sour.
We all know that neck injuries are inevitable when we face cell phones and computers for a long time.
However, how much neck injury, do you know?
Look at the picture and you will know!
Looking down at your cell phone is like acrobatics.
When a person does not bow his head, his neck only needs to bear the pressure of his head (about 4 ~ 5kg), which is very easy.
But when a person bows his head, he will instantly become an acrobat, and his neck is under great pressure…

In fact, our neck has a slightly forward physiological radian. Always looking down at the mobile phone will straighten the cervical spine, lose [curvaceous beauty], and also make the muscles in the front and back of the neck bend and stretch excessively.
At that time, neck pain, shoulder pain, arm pain… all kinds of pain may find you.
Is there any way to play with your mobile phone happily? Of course there is!

Key points of action:
- Relax your neck and hold your mobile phone to the height of your eyes in your right hand. The left hand supports the right hand so as to hold the mobile phone more comfortably (change it if you are used to using the left hand).
The most important thing is: don’t bow your head.
The second move: reading style
If you are lazy and have advanced cancer and are too tired to hold your hands, use a table like this:

Key points of action:
- Elbows on the table; Relax your neck and raise your mobile phone to the height of your eyes with both hands.
The most important thing is: don’t bow your head.
The third move: props (no style)
Good use of tools is the biggest difference between human beings and animals, so…
Don’t waste the mobile phone bracket, use it quickly and free your hands and neck, just like this:

Just adjust the bracket to the eye height.
The most important thing is still: don’t bow your head!
Are these three moves very simple? Now you are looking at your mobile phone, you may as well raise your head, adjust your posture and cultivate these good habits.
In the future, the neck will thank you, and you will thank the neck even more!
