       Sitting and working in one place, excessive use of phone, etc. also affect our neck. As a result neck pain starts. You can reduce neck pain by doing some simple exercises.

       Our neck goes straight down while looking at a smartphone, reading a book; But while working on the computer, because the eyes are fixed on the screen, our neck is forward towards the chin instead of going down.This position causes the 'paraspinal muscles', which are the 'deep muscles', to strain the neck muscles from being in the strained position for hours on end. As a result, complaints such as neck stiffness, neck pain, shoulder, back swelling, hand pain, tingling in the hand start.

One of the main causes of neck pain is sitting for long hours in one position. In Marathi, we call this to work hard! But then what can be done to prevent this neck pain?
