When Amazon announces that they’re developing a new tablet specifically geared toward gamers, you know tablets have become genuinely mainstream — but they’re not without their issues. It’s all-too-common to see someone hanging their head forward, looking down at their latest level in Candy Crush, and then look up…and wince. That’s because the levator scapulae — the muscles that hold up your head — can get quite irate when you abuse them by looking down for long periods of time. One study of twenty-two young phone-prone women found that “constant trigger points and creptitation (popping/cracking of the shoulder)” were common to their complaints — so if you can’t afford to put your tablet or phone down, look into addressing the trigger points directly. If you want to get lasting relief from back pain, neck pain, sciatica, and more, then call and book neuromuscular massage today!
