Illustrative poses. The 40 lb and 60 lb values come from Hansraj’s biomechanical model at specific angles; using a laptop or phone does not itself determine neck force. These are not individual measurements.
A human head weighs roughly 10 to 12 pounds. Tilting it forward changes the forces described in biomechanical models.
One published biomechanical model estimated 60 pounds of force at a 60-degree forward tilt. This is a model of neck loading, not a measurement of your personal posture or a prediction of damage.
Hansraj KK, Surg Technol Int. 2014 modeled neck forces at several angles, including 60 lbs at 60°. The model does not diagnose injury or estimate an individual’s risk.
Trusted By & Seen On
NBC10 called Dr. Lenny about tech neck.
When Philadelphia's NBC affiliate needed someone to explain what phones are doing to people's necks — and what to actually do about it — this is who they called.
One said it on television. One wrote it in a Google review, years apart, without knowing the other existed. Both describe the same thing — and it isn't a stretch or an exercise.
"It's a cumulative stress that builds up over the course of time. It's not a scare tactic — it's going to happen. You're going to break your body down prematurely.
So now, because it's in my mind, I'm gonna be more aware. Instead of kinda looking down to send that quick text or read that email, I'm gonna bring it up here. Simple posture changes go a long way."
"I am so much more conscious of my posture when sitting and using my cell/computer."
Nobody taught either of them a stretch. They just started noticing. That's the idea behind this program — start by noticing your habits, then practice small changes.
What Tech Neck Is Actually Doing
These aren't separate problems. They're one problem showing up in different places.
"Tech neck is a component of well over 90% of the patients who walk through my door — whether they came in for their neck, their shoulders, their mid back, their low back, even their legs. People come in about their lower back, and we find their neck is more worn down than the back they came in about.
It's become so common that people assume it's normal. It's common. It is not normal."
