Are you taking care of your neck? If you use a smartphone but aren't taking care of your neck already, you should probably start now!
Why?
Your body isn’t designed to be stooping forwards all day! Your body is designed so that your head stays over top of your shoulders. And your head weighs about 5 Kg. That’s a bowling ball! Every 2.5 cm that you stick your head forwards like this, multiply that weight by two. ... 10 kilos. 20 kilos!

Unless you're traveling to 1995, you can't escape smartphones! The best you can do is take better care of your neck.
