We have agonist and antagonist muscles. Basically these are muscles that are on either side of each joint that do an opposite action. So in the case of text, neck or technic, the muscles that are tight, are hypertonic are in a shortened state and their opposite muscles that do the opposite action are actually overstretched. They're too long and they're trying to pull back the body into an ergonomic Lee safe position. They will also have small knots in them and they will feel painful. They're usually the muscles that you actually feel pain in first, because they're actually spasming.
The muscle fibers are in spasm at a very low level for sometimes many hours of the day. those muscles are usually in the back of the neck and the back the erector muscles Those that run up and down the spine, the rhomboids and the traps that are in between the shoulder blades, everything in anything that pulls your shoulders and your spine back in space will be over lengthened. We need to strengthen these muscles to return homeostasis or balance to the body. I'm going to show you now some exercises that are specifically designed to help strengthen the muscles that are overstretched and painful when you're suffering from text neck or tech neck conditions. Why do we do exercises to treat the condition of text neck? Well, we need to stay fit.
A strong and flexible neck is going to prevent the most pain and dysfunction and neck that has muscles that are equal in strength and able to support the head. As it moves through space. We need to get stronger in general We need to build our core muscles so that our torso can remain upright as well. So we have a strong steady base for our head and neck to float on top of
