Cracking the Code of Digital Discomfort Through the Dynamic Fusion of Matrix Rhythm Therapy and Physiotherapy Exercises for Text Neck Syndrome.

Abstract

Text neck syndrome refers to the excessive use of electronic devices such as laptops, mobile phones, and so on, which causes prolonged and continued forward bending of the neck, leading to a strain in the muscle, causing muscle imbalance, and leading to poor posture. In this article, we focus on a case of a 22-year-old female who has a daily average screen time of around four to five hours, which leads to stress on cervical muscles that further develop into tightness and cause poor posture. She is managed with physiotherapy treatment that focuses on reducing pain and increasing the strength of the individual. The physiotherapy treatment focuses on the prevention of further damageto the cervical muscles and educating the individual to perform minimum forward bending by providing ergonomic advice, reducing pain, and improving range of motion.
