With the increasing use of mobile technology, various symptoms such as musculoskeletal pain, insomnia, difficulty in concentrating, and fatigue appear. The definition of "text neck" is the firstly described by Dr. Dean L. Fishman as has a problem of the neck, head and shoulder pain, and numbness in the upper extremities who use smartphones and tablets for a long time. This kyphotic posture, which the head and arms are at the front for a long time while using mobile devices, is thought to pose a potential risk for early arthritis onset and disc degeneration. “Text neck” has various symptoms such as neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, headache, insomnia, tingling, and numbness at the hands. Although there are no specific diagnostic criteria for "text neck", some researchers have developed photographic methods to evaluate the head and neck posture. Preventive physiotherapy approaches can be suggested for “text neck”. In case of symptoms, therapeutic physiotherapy techniques can be applied. There are very few studies on preventive and therapeutic physiotherapy approaches. In these studies, postural education, to increase awareness, ergonomic design, and exercise programs become prominent. In this review, factors that cause “text neck" syndrome, symptoms, assessment methods, and treatment approaches are discussed with the literature.
