Back pain is one of the most common reasons people see their doctor. Office workers are vulnerable to prolonged sitting, and thus one of the highest occupations to have complaints of spine discomfort and pain. A few simple exercises at your desk can help alleviate your pain. Neck retractions with extensions: This movement is helpful to unload pressure on the front part of your spine and stretches your neck opposite from the position we typically are in throughout the day when working on the computer. If you’re in prolonged pain, you should consult your physician to discuss underlying problems or treatment concerns.
