A poll of 2,000 UK adults who work at a desk found 12 per cent believe they have poor posture and say the gadgets they carry around aren't helping
Six out of 10 office workers attribute their poor posture to the use of tech devices, according to a recent poll.
A spokesperson for HONOR, the company that commissioned the research in line with the launch of its all-in-one foldable Magic V3 phone, said: "We've coined a term to describe the impact of tech on our posture - tech torsion." A third of individuals typically carry two bags to and from their workplace, with common contents including phones, laptops, water bottles, and chargers.
In response to these findings, HONOR has collaborated with medical expert, Dr Rebekah Jade Lawrence, to offer advice, useful stretches and exercises to help commuters avoid chronic pain from carrying heavy items.
