The NECKSAVER Anti-cradling alert app is a mobile phone alarm that is triggered when you hold the phone in a cradled position, usually between your shoulder and ear, during a phone call.
The purpose of the app is to stop EVERYONE'S cradling habit as this leads to irreversible damage to the spine.
As a matter of fact, the inspiration for the NECKSAVER Anti-cradling alert app came from the treatment table. At my Bodypractic clinic, we were treating numerous patients with different types of neck pain which was helped when patients reduced or stopped the cradling habit.
Think how thin a mobile phone is and the compression that occurs when cradling a 12mm object.
This is mechanically dangerous and definitely better avoided.
