How to Relieve Tech Neck with One Simple Posture Tip

Stiff neck? Achy shoulders? If you’re like most people, you might be dealing with something known as tech neck — the strain your body experiences from hours spent looking down at screens.

What It Is:
Tech neck is caused by the forward head posture that happens when we spend long periods on phones, tablets, or computers. Over time, this position adds stress to the cervical spine, resulting in tension, stiffness, and even headaches.

How Massage Helps:
Massage therapy helps reduce tech neck symptoms by:

  • Releasing trigger points in the neck and upper back

  • Improving circulation to tight muscles

  • Promoting better alignment and postural awareness

  • Relieving tension headaches caused by poor neck posture

Techniques Used:
At Mi Vida Massage & Wellness, we may use:

  • Swedish massage for general relief

  • Myofascial release to loosen connective tissue

  • Deep tissue techniques (if desired) to address chronic knots

  • Postural education to support you between sessions

When to Book:
You may benefit from massage if you notice:

  • Frequent neck stiffness or soreness

  • Tension building through your shoulders or traps

  • Headaches that seem to worsen after screen time

  • Poor posture that’s hard to “fix” on your own


You don’t need to live with tech neck. A simple posture check — combined with the healing power of massage — can bring your body back into balance.
