How to relief tight, tense, sore shoulder muscles caused by sitting at the desk in front of computers all day?

I suffer from this on a regular basis. There are several stretching exercises you can do, in addition to making sure you are observing correct posture and ergonomic peripheral placement. As always, consult your doctor or medical practitioner before trying any of these, particularly if you have had past injuries to neck, shoulder or back, or if you suffer from chronic pain.1.

Shoulder rolls - stand up and roll your shoulders forward several times, and then backwards several times. 2. Arm windmills - windmill your arms forwards several times, then backwards several times.

3. Shoulder blade stretch - grab a door frame with one hand and lean back so that you are stretching your arm straight, then rotate your body slightly inward towards your arm. If you are positioned right, you should feel your muscles behind your shoulder blade stretching out.

These are usually the hardest ones to get at on your own, and the ones that cause tension headaches for me. 4. Neck stretch - sit on a chair, preferably one high enough that your legs, when bent at the knees, are at a right angle to your thighs, with feet flat on the floor.

Sit on one hand, palm up, near your hip. Use the other hand to pull GENTLY down on your head, away from the hand you are sitting on.Do this first facing forward, then with your head turned 45 degrees away towards the hand pulling. Switch hands and repeat on the other side.

GENTLY! NO TUGGING! 5.

Neck rolls - my chiropractor doesn't recommend them, but they do work for some folks.

Usually the tense muscles come from other factors than from sitting at a desk...

I would recommend massage therapy. My dad used to have his own buissness and helped a lot of people with those same problems.

The best suggestion is almost certainly not relief, but avoidance. I've found that correct height alignment of your monitor is very important, as is your posture. Try assessing your current, normal position objectively, and make adjustments from that.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
