How Remote Work and Learning Are Impacting Our Spines — and What You Can Do About It
For many people, what started as a temporary work-from-home arrangement has become a long-term lifestyle. Combine that with remote learning for students of all ages, and we’re now facing an explosion in screen time — and a surge in neck and back complaints.
Terms like “text neck,” “selfie elbow,” and “hunchback posture” are no longer just buzzwords. They're among the top reasons people are seeking help from health care professionals. The impact is widespread — and it’s especially concerning for children and teens.
“It’s abnormal for my youngest daughter — who is only 12 — to complain to me that her neck hurts,” says Kinetic Konnection’s Kirsten Kreibich. “In my opinion, younger school-aged children are an overlooked population when it comes to physical activity.”
Extended time on laptops, tablets, and phones leads to what’s called a forward head posture — the act of constantly looking down. This misalignment places tremendous stress on your spine’s discs and joints, while also creating muscle imbalances in the neck.
Add to that the lack of daily movement we’d typically get commuting to work or attending classes, and it’s no surprise that our joints and muscles are suffering.
And let’s be honest — many of us have replaced ergonomic desks with couches, kitchen tables, or even beds.
If your back or neck discomfort becomes consistent or starts to interfere with daily activities, it’s time to consult your health care provider. After evaluation, they may recommend a back or postural brace — and that’s where Kinetic Konnection can help.
With three convenient locations in Windsor, LaSalle, and Tecumseh, we offer expert fittings for a variety of orthopedic braces designed to:
All of our staff are Human Kinetics graduates with a deep understanding of how the body is designed to move. That means you’ll always be fitted with the right brace — based on your needs, body type, and lifestyle.
Many people are surprised by how comfortable and discreet modern back braces can be. In most cases, they’re worn under clothing and go unnoticed. Our team will walk you through the different styles and options, from rigid supports for spinal injuries to postural braces that help train your muscles back into alignment.
Bracing can help with conditions like:
If you’ve noticed poor posture, weak balance, frequent lower back pain, or shortness of breath from basic activity, these may be signs of a weak core. A properly fitted brace can help restore function while your muscles recover and rebuild.
We understand the unique challenges of living with spinal pain. Our goal is to provide solutions that help you move better, feel better, and get back to living your life.
If you’re dealing with posture issues, back pain, or neck discomfort — don’t wait for it to get worse. Let our experts guide you through options that fit your body and your life.
