Neck hump (also called forward head posture, tech neck, or computer neck) is a postural condition where your head shifts forward of your shoulders, creating visible rounding at the base of the neck. This forward position puts excessive strain on neck muscles and can cause a noticeable "hump" appearance.
Yes! Most people see visible neck hump improvement within 2-4 weeks by doing a simple 5-minute daily routine (chin tucks, wall angels, stretches) combined with proper desk setup and sleep positioning. Complete neck hump correction typically takes 6-12 weeks of consistent practice. No expensive equipment needed.
