It can lead to feelings of unease, rigidity, tenderness, and lasting pain, in the neck and shoulders. In this article, we'll delve into ways to alleviate this issue and embrace a Tech Neck free life with MOBO.
Understanding 'Tech Neck' in Depth
In today’s digital age, Tech Neck is not just a catchy buzzword; it's a real and prevalent issue affecting individuals of all ages. As our bodies are subjected to prolonged periods of poor posture due to continuous tech use, it causes a strain on our necks and upper body. The result? Recurrent and prolonged periods of aches and pains in the region.

Saying Goodbye to Tech Neck With MOBO
So, is there no solution to this modern-day problem? Fortunately, thanks to MOBO, there is. With the three methods mentioned below, you can easily avoid Tech Neck and its adverse effects with MOBO.
1) Head & Neck Release - Rolling
This method helps you release tension in the neck and back of the head muscles and also improves your posture for better upper-body mobility.
- Begin by placing the MOBO roller at the base of your skull and slowly roll it toward the top of your head. Repeat the motion at least 5 to 10 times to release any tension in the muscles.
- You can try this method at any time of the day, but it's especially beneficial after spending long hours of staring at a screen.
-
Be cautious not to use excessive pressure when pressing or rolling, as this could lead to pulling your head downwards and forwards, potentially causing strain or discomfort in your neck and shoulders.

2) Head & Neck Release - Press & Move
This technique can be highly beneficial when you switch from a long period of sitting in front of a computer screen to something more active like exercise or any other physical activity.
- To perform this technique, locate the bony points behind your ears, just below the base of your skull.
- Next, place the MOBO roller on the MOBO block. Lie down with your head resting on the MOBO roller. The two bony points should fit perfectly onto the MOBO roller’s raised sides. Relax your neck and shoulders, bend your knees, and let the weight of your head create pressure on the MOBO roller.
- Take two box breaths to release the tension and then return to normal breathing. Slowly, make a YES gesture with your head and feel the stretch in your neck muscles. Repeat 5 times.

3) Upper Trap Release - Press & Move
This method specifically targets the upper trapezius muscle, which can often become tight and painful due to stress and poor posture. It can prove especially beneficial before upper body workouts or after long hours of sitting at a desk.
- Rest one end of the MOBO roller against a solid surface. Lay down in front of the roller and position it under your upper back, close to your shoulder blades. Place your arms to the side or on your chest.
-
Now, rotate your head toward the opposite side of the roller. Similarly, extend and raise your arm till it is above your head. Return to the start position. Repeat this movement 5 to 10 times before switching sides.
