Is your head down a lot?

Many of us are spending a LOT of time on a computer, on our phones or other devices now. This noggin forward posture causes a multitude of problems:

Lower neck (cervical) problems such as disc bulges, herniations & arthritis

Hip & problems because our weight is not being distributed properly in these joints
