Looking down can be debilitating, but it's increasingly common in
our electronic age. We
spend a lot of time
looking down at
phones, computers
and, in the operating
room, patients. All that
bowing is creating
chronic musculoskele-
tal issues, because the
more you bend your
head forward and
down, the more stress
you put on your spine.
The impact is so dra-
matic that if you bend
your head 60 degrees
forward (envision a
teenager reading a text
message), it's like car-
rying a 60-pound
weight on your shoul-
ders. If your neck mus-
cles can't take the
weight, the burden
falls to the shoulders
