How do the muscles in our neck not hurt as much as other muscles do being tense all day long?
In: Biology
Your neck muscles, just like your eye muscles, are designed for endurance over raw strength. They’re very efficient, which is why they usually don’t feel sore.
If you are always looking down, your head is really heavy and your neck muscles have to work hard to keep it in the right position, and this load isn’t something they’re designed for, they don’t have enough strength, so they end up sore.
It’s a really common problem in this era of handphones and computers because we’re always looking down.
