Anyone get neck and shoulder pain while marketing

Actually, I do properly stetch before working out and it makes me feel wonderful and no pain and it helps in every aspect of my life except when I am on the computer for more then approx. 2 hours. Its kind of strange. Thanks for reply

Some really great advice on this thread.

Having a supportive chair can make so much difference when you are sitting in front of the computer for long periods. Having regular breaks is crucial too.

We sometimes forget that the neck and shoulder area is a common place for us to hold on to stress. So, taking time out everyday is very important, even if it's just to relax for ten minutes.

I do tend to slouch quite a bit while I work, which gives me neckaches and headaches. I need to stop that!

my left arm is killing me

me too, I get a pinched nerve on my right shoulder. Its much worse depending on my feet position. With both feet flat on the floor it barely happens, feet under the chair will do it everytime. Posture, posture, posture

"Posture, Posture Posture!" is what my Physiotherapist keeps telling me.

Yea, I've found myself suffering from some back pain lately from too many hours of work (I'm sure wrestling with my kids and giving piggyback rides doesn't help either).

I need to revamp my workspace a bit and pickup a more comfortable chair to sit in while working from home...and maybe check out a chiropracter too.

A lot of neck pain is caused by postural strain and tensing muscles to hold yourself in the "computer position" without pause.

If you want a product that helps relieve muscle tension, aches and pains, I have a great product for that, and one I use constantly as a natural health practitioner.

This is a shameless plug, so look away if that offends you, but this is a pain relieving gel I've developed for use in my natural health clinic (10 years now), and it works like a charm.

It's all natural, water-based, won't stain your clothes or smell like a medicine cabinet. Plus it's animal-friendly and petroleum free.

If you want to try some out, it comes with a 90 day money back guarantee (plus I'll give you an additional five dollars just for trying it, if you return it).

It's only $12.95 for a 4 ounce jar, and it lasts a long time. You can get hours of temporary pain relief, from aches, strains and tight muscles.

Like I said, if you want to try it out, go for it. I use it all the time, from computer aches to overdoing activities, to strained muscles I get from carrying my kids around.

Plus, because I'm feeling a little giddy with this fall weather around here, I'll take 20% off of your purchase, if you enter code "WSO" in the coupon area during check out (which will be valid through 9/30/08).


Thanks.

A know-it-all told me about four simple exercises that would cure or at least alleviate neck pain. After a month or so, I tried the exercises and in just four days the chronic pain was completely gone. But I keep forgetting to do the exercises on a regular basis. When the pain becomes debilitating I remember to do the exercises.
#1: Put both hands on top of your head and gently pull down. At the same time, use your neck muscles to tilt your head backwards at the same time.

#2: Put your left hand against your jaw and gently push against the jaw. At the same time, try to turn your head to the left.

#3: Put both hands under your chin and gently push up. At the same time try to pull your head down to meet your chest.

#4: Put your right hand against your jaw and gently push against the jaw. At the same time, try to turn your head to the right.

You don't want to overpower your neck muscles, just restrain them.

Posture.. Too many people don't know what correct posture is. I am probably the world's worst offender. I searched for years to find a good guide. A few months ago, I did. It comes from Ventura Design. All I have is the demo but has really helped me see what good posture is and how much it matters.
