KINGAROY, Australia - AussieJournal -- Here are our top ten tips to prevent 'Tech Neck', which is neck pain and stiffness caused by the overuse of electronic devices, especially when looking down at screens for too long.

1. Sit with comfortable upright posture, with shoulders relaxed and feet flat on the floor.
2. Be aware of time spent using technology by monitoring device use and taking regular breaks.
3. Stop bending your neck to look down at a phone or tablet. Hold the device at eye level.
4. Use both hands concurrently or alternate between left and right when typing on a smartphone.
5. Don't walk looking down at a phone. Hold your head up straight and engage with the world.
