This complaint is experienced by everyone, including teachers, teachers are currently required to carry out distance learning (PJJ) which causes a lot of silence in one position, namely facing a laptop or looking down a lot at a cell phone which makes the neck and shoulders stiff. Methods: The research design used in this study is a pre-experimental design with a pretest-posttest design. Before and after treatment, the patient's neck stiffness was measured using the Nordic body map (NBM), then the results were compared. Results: It was found that respondents who experienced neck stiffness before acupuncture therapy had an average score of 2.10 with a standard deviation of 0.316, and an average of 1.20 who had been treated with acupuncture with a standard deviation of 0.422.
