Tech neck needn’t be a pain in the neck!

The head, neck and shoulders are complex and pain sensitive structures.

These are restricted or out of balance this can contribute to many common chronic pain conditions that fall within the umbrella diagnosis of repetitive strain injury (RSI).

In this workshop we explore tech neck, a new addition to the RSI family. Too many of us spend too long peering at mobile devices and screens which results in postural imbalance and pain and other symptoms felt in the neck, head and shoulders.

We look at what is happening from a myofascial perspective, and what we can to help correct this both for ourselves and for our clients.

This workshop is run by Amanda Oswald, lead therapist and owner of the Pain Care Clinic, and author of Living Pain Free: Healing Chronic Pain with Myofascial Release.

Please make sure you have 1 or 2 myofascial balls or tennis balls available for the self-help exercises.
