WE hunch over, looking at our phones. We do not realize the pressure we put on our necks and spines doing this. We can cause some long term damage if we are not careful. We need to make sure to stretch it out by finding a corner and placing our palms on the wall, pushing in while we tilt our heads back to get a really great stretch in. We need to start being more aware of this to also prevent Chest Breathing, where we are not getting great oxygen.
