Keko Media – A Solution to “Text Neck” Syndrome

Digital mobile devices have become an integral part of our lives. These essential devices, for many, can make us much more efficient with just the touch of our fingers. Some people have them in their hands at a very young age, and using them day after day can harm our bodies. Using these mobile devices often leads to poor posture and physical pain. Neck, shoulder, and back pain become real problems. Constantly looking down puts a lot of strain on the cervical vertebrae. Using these devices for long periods of time in poor posture develops "Text Neck" syndrome.

So what is Text Neck?

The latest research shows that mobile phone users spend an average of 4 hours a day consulting their data (1400 hours each year!). The phenomenon of Text Neck syndrome is only increasing and what is most worrying is that the younger generations are particularly affected by this condition. The positions we adopt each day while consulting our mobile devices greatly increase the strain on our neck. Indeed, the weight of the head in an abnormal position, i.e. tilted forward to consult screens, transfers significant pressure to the neck and particularly to the cervical vertebrae. This constant pressure results in inflammation and can develop into a chronic problem. These changes can be observed using X-rays where the natural curve of the spine is distorted at the neck level. Fortunately, products adapted to counter this phenomenon have appeared on the market. By adjusting one's posture using specialized supports for mobile devices, new X-rays show us that the phenomenon can be reversible. Indeed, in several cases the natural curve of the spine has returned to its normal position.

One of the best products on the market is the KEKO mobile phone and tablet stand. They are extremely simple, perfectly combining style and function. Want to change the angle of your tablet, go from viewing to writing? It can be done in a second, turn your stand 180˚ and voilà, no other manipulations. Two essential angles have been defined for 4 tablet or phone positions. Keko is ultra-light, portable and foldable, it will accompany all your mobile devices, making it an accessory to use, no matter where you are. It will be ideal for store owners or any other business to manage orders or transactions using their tablets. At the same time, the Keko will contribute to the decor of this place. At school, in the kitchen, at the office, it doesn't matter. Keko is ultra-durable and universally compatible. It fits all Apple iPads, and most Android tablets and e-readers.

Conclusion

It will be very difficult to avoid health problems if mobile device users don't change their browsing habits. New postures will need to be adopted for a much better condition. The spine is the center of our body, and it is imperative to take care of it. Fortunately, there are accessories to help us establish a lifestyle with these mobile technologies and avoid the "Text Neck" syndrome of our time.
