➸ with all the time it

spends hunched over our

phones and computers,

the average American neck

hasn’t been in great shape

for a while. But when the

pandemic forced us out of

our ergonomic office chairs

and into makeshift work

setups at home, we were

launched into something

of a neck crisis. To find

any long-term relief,

says chiropractor Steven

Shoshany, you’ll have

to correct your posture

(raising your laptop is one

good way to find a position

that’s better for the neck).

If you’re waking up with

neck pain, a cervical pillow

(tosupport theneck’s

natural curve)may help.
