Did you know that youngsters and teenagers are at risk of neck and back pain as a result of their sedentary lifestyles and excessive use of technology?
The British Chiropractic Association recently undertook research that revealed that almost three quarters (68%) of 11 to 16 year olds spend up to four hours a day on a laptop, tablet or computer and a staggering 73% spend up to six hours on the devices. More than a third (38%) of parents said their child spends up to six hours a day on their mobile phone.
Chiropractic Awareness Week (April 14th to 20th) is focussed on warning parents that their teenagers could be at risk from suffering from back or neck pain due to sedentary lifestyles and the excessive use of technology.
Here at Cliffs Chiropractor Southend were doing our bit to help teenagers by offering ‘Spinal Check Ups for kids’ between now and April 25th.
The Spinal Check Up will include a 20 minute exam, posture check and results with recommendations for just £19.
Just call or email us to book in your little and medium sized angels for their ‘Spinal Check Up’ and don’t forget to spread the word to your friends and family.
