Editorial Philosophy I write with one single goal: To simplify health in a world full of noise by finding what’s actually doable, safe, and evidence-based for my readers. I test claims against research and user experiences. The IT boom has undoubtedly created job opportunities that were unheard of a few years ago. However, it has also contributed to a sedentary work culture that has paved the way for a surge in cases of neck and back pain among young professionals. This, in turn, is leading to reduced concentration, subtle productivity leakages, and eventual absenteeism. Research conducted across India in recent years indicates that the country is on the verge of a crisis in neck and back pain cases resulting from the continuous use of laptops and smartphones, as well as prolonged sitting. The major IT corridors such as Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, and Noida are bearing the brunt of it. The mismatch between human physiology and the modern work culture is also an important factor leading to a rise in cases of neck and back pain amongst young Indian professionals. Human physiology is genetically built for movement, but modern work culture has subjected it to eight or more hours of daily stillness in a collapsed posture.
