It is a term commonly used to describe the neck pain and/or damaged sustained by the neck. The leading cause is from looking down at one’s mobile devices such as the mobile phone, tablet and other wireless devices for an extended period and/or too frequently.
The condition is caused by pain or stiffness in the neck and even shoulder areas. This is caused by the angle and position of the neck during the extended period of device usage. The hunch of the shoulders also can create stress and fatigue, resulting in pain.
The muscles during this period when you’re looking down help support and hold the head up. Over a prolonged period or high frequency, these muscles are forced to work overtime and end up fatigued. This results in stiffness and even pain.
The ideal position would be to keep your head, neck and shoulders in a neutral position, essentially looking down at your devices only with your eyes. Some say sitting up straight helps, but this position can put a strain on the discs in the lower back. Hence why it is recommended for a person to get up for a walk or do some stretching now and then if sitting on a chair, for whatever purpose and for prolonged periods, is unavoidable.
Simple neck strengthening exercises help, but the best advice is to scale down your screen time.
Chances are, we all suffer from it – be it in the mild or advanced stages. We tend to pass it off as minor aches and whatnots only to realise the seriousness when the persistent pain becomes unbearable.

There are some cases of this excess skin that are the cause of genetics.
Face firming gymnastics are very effective and will tone, raise, and firm up turkey neck (tighten saggy neck skin) - which is the same thing as a no surgery neck lift. Double chin exercises will help with tightening the tissue and loose skin along the jawline.

A double chin occurs when a subcutaneous sheet of fat around your neck sags and causes a wrinkle. Many families suffer from a hereditary predisposition to them. Some families naturally retain too much water in the chin area, and others naturally store excess fat. Age is another cause.
