<unk> , also called iPosture, forward head posture, poking chin posture, wearsie neck, computer neck, upper crossed syndrome, text neck, and dowager's hump, is the common spinal problem of an excessively kyphotic<unk> ed) thoracic spine driving neck pain and cervicogenic headache. It is clinically recognized as a form of repetitive strain injury. The term text neck was first coined by Dr. Dean L. Fishman, a US chiropractor. Much bending forward has always caused the problems of a<unk> ed upper back and neck pain, for example in dentists, surgeons, and hairdressers. What has changed in the last decade is the amount, especially in a younger generation who have grown up bending over laptops, tablets and smartphones – hence the term<unk> '. Because the problem arises specifically from much bending forward, logical treatment will counter each component of this. The<unk> : (1) Overworked muscles down the back of the neck strengthen, strain, scar and shorten; (2) middle and lower back support muscles weaken; (3)<unk> ing upper back joints eventually freeze like that; (4) muscles at the front of the neck work less and weaken, so chin pokes out. Results: Upper back pain, neck pain, headache; often referred pain down arms.
