Stiff Shoulders, Tech Neck, and the Young Adult in Your Life

Share
Your young adult may be focused on big changes—college, jobs, roommates—but daily discomfort can quietly mess with their mood, posture, and productivity.
That’s where stretching comes in. It’s not glamorous, but five minutes a day can prevent pain, improve focus, and help your student feel more in control of their body and time.
How You Can Help:
- Encourage small, easy habits over big resolutions.
- Share the free checklist or stick it in a care package.
- Mention the benefits without sounding like a personal trainer.
- Model it. (“Ugh, I did a neck roll and it literally saved my day.”)
