Summary

This study tested a 12-week postural reeducation program for 187 adolescents who frequently use digital screens. The program, integrated into physical education classes, included strengthening and stretching exercises. Results showed improvements in spinal alignment and reductions in back and neck pain compared to usual class warm-ups.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Postural Reeducation Program (Active Global Stretching)
What this could lead to
If this approach works, it could offer a simple, school-based way to reduce back and neck pain in teenagers who spend a lot of time on screens.
What could go wrong
This was a small, completed study with no long-term follow-up. Results may not apply to all teens or settings, and the program requires consistent participation.
