Technology can be a Pain in the Neck - Literally

Checking social media, texting and emailing on phones, tablets, and even laptops can cause major muscle problems and neck pain- sometimes referred to as “Text Neck”. Applied properly, Pilates can improve neck strength and aids in correcting posture issues as well as improve balance, flexibility and core strength. Polestar Pilates Asia, established in 2001, produces high-caliber Pilates instructors and is considered to be one of the world's leading institutions that offer instruction and certification program in Pilates techniques. Every Polestar-educated Pilates instructor is highly capable of helping you feel rejuvenated and strong once more.

Text, emails or social media take a lot of time in your everyday life, and your neck muscles just aren’t designed for this. Your neck is designed to support an upright posture, so looking down at an angle for long periods of time can cause strain. It also puts more pressure on your neck, which can travel down into your shoulders and back. The human head weighs about 5kg, but different angles can make it feel heavier. Looking down slightly at a 15-degree angle, is like your head weighing 12 kgs. At a 60-degree angle, it is like the head weighs 27 kgs, and this is typically the position most people use when checking their phone. Multiple this damage by the number of hours spends using a smartphone, and you see why “text neck” is occurring more frequently.

Polestar Pilates Asia can help you become an experienced instructor and help others improve their neck pain (and many other injuries) and feel strong again.
