Screen Time Health Problems

Back Pain from Sitting
Lower back killing you? Hours of sitting compress your spine and weaken muscles.

Dry, tired, blurry eyes? Staring at screens reduces your blink rate by 66%.
Neck Pain & Tech Neck
That forward head posture adds 10 lbs of stress per inch to your neck.
Screen Headaches
Tension headaches, migraines, or that dull ache behind your eyes? Screens are often the culprit.
Wrist Pain & RSI
Tingling, numbness, or shooting pain? Repetitive strain adds up fast.
Sedentary Lifestyle
Sitting is the new smoking. Your metabolism, heart, and mood all suffer.
Screen Fatigue
Exhausted after staring at a screen all day? Your brain needs visual breaks.
