Here’s what happens when you lean forward for long stretches. First, the small stabilizer muscles in your neck tire out. And as that happens, the bigger muscles in your shoulders take over. Tension builds up in the top of your back. Add in the reduced blood flow from holding that position, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for next-day stiffness and headaches after a binge session.
Leaning forward shifts the work to tiny neck muscles that weren’t built for endurance. That means compensation. Your shoulder and upper back muscles step in—and have to stay tight. And reduced blood flow = slow recovery, which explains that ‘couch hangover’ feeling the next day.
If every TV marathon leaves your neck with its own after-show ache, it’s time for some TLC—and that’s where we come in. So, get in here. Book your next visit with us today. We’ll release the tension, reset your posture, and help you enjoy your next binge without the sore-neck sequel!
