Modern near-focus activities like phones and reading force your eyes to converge continuously, triggering your brain to tighten neck and shoulder muscles for stability. Regaining control over eye convergence can reverse this reflex and instantly relax the tension.
we have a threat of anything that gets close to us, we're going to get tense and tight. This is super common because a lot of the things we do these days in our daily lives, like looking at our phones and reading books, and even when we're driving, we're, we're right here really focused on what's right in front of us. So we need to get better control of that because when we don't converge well or we get stuck there, then the brain is going to make the muscles in the neck and the shoulders much tighter to hold the head still. So that it can see more clearly what's coming at it.
