We all have a love affair with our cell phones. But I remember resisting getting one in the first place. I was perfectly content having a phone hanging on the wall at home that had a answering machine attached to it.

All age groups spend as much time in front of a PC/laptop/tablet/phone screen as they do asleep in bed Adults 55 and older average 6.64 hours in front of a screen Adults 18-24 spend on average 8.83 hours in front of a screen! 84% admit to suffering from back pain in the past year This group loses more working days to back pain than their parents’ generation (1.5 days more) Their pain is more likely to be experienced in the upper back and neck Text Neck All of
