Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How do I check if I have tech neck?
A. Answer 12 questions on posture, neck and shoulder pain, stiffness, and screen habits, each scored 0 to 4. Your total out of 48 falls into one of four levels: 0–11, 12–23, 24–35, or 36 and up.
Q. How do I do the wall test for forward head posture?
A. Stand with your heels, buttocks, and shoulder blades against a wall and keep your chin level. If the back of your head only touches when you tip your chin up, your head may sit forward of your shoulders. A rounded upper back gives the same result, so treat it as a rough check.
Q. Is tech neck the same as straight neck?
A. No. Tech neck is the everyday name for forward head posture, where the head sits in front of the shoulders. Straight neck (military neck) describes a loss of the neck's normal curve and is confirmed on an X-ray.
Q. Is this a medical diagnosis?
A. No, it's a self-check for reference. If neck pain persists or you notice numbness, tingling, or weakness in your arms or hands, see a doctor or physical therapist.
