72. Tech Neck for Moms: Why Your Neck Always Hurts (And How to Fix It)

from Everyday Ergonomics for Working Moms | Stop pain, fix biomechanics, improve function · host Amanda Rabin

If your neck hurts at the end of the day, you’re not alone. Many working moms experience constant neck pain from a combination of desk work, phone use, driving kids around, and everyday parenting tasks.   This “tech neck” posture happens when your head spends hours tilted forward while texting, scrolling, working on a laptop, or looking down throughout the day. Over time, that extra strain can lead to tight shoulders, headaches, and persistent neck pain.   In this episode, ergonomic coach and physical therapist Amanda Rabin explains why moms develop tech neck and how small adjustments can make a big difference.   You’ll learn simple ways to set up your screens, move smarter during the day, and strengthen the muscles that support your neck so you can reduce pain and feel better in your body.   Because motherhood already asks a lot from your body—and a few small tweaks can bring real relief.   If you’re dealing with: • neck pain from phone use • tech neck from desk work • shoulder tension from laptop posture • headaches after a long workday   this episode will give you practical strategies you can start using today.
