Does your neck and back hurt from sitting at the computer?

Commercial message: For those of you who spend long hours at the computer, this is an old familiar song. You stand up, crane your neck, straighten your back and promise yourself that next time you will sit differently, better, get a better chair, not slouch, move the monitor higher - but - next time you will find yourself hunched over the keyboard in the T-Rex position. A strained cervical spine often leads to headaches, eye problems, and subsequently poor concentration and fatigue.

You make a resolution to get up every hour and take a walk. You even set a stopwatch at the start so you don't forget. When they start beeping, you have trouble remembering what they were supposed to remind you of. So you decide to exercise after work. But you're so broken that you're not even in the mood for any exercise. You are considering the purchase of a balance chair and a positioning table. The moment you find out their prices, however, you come to the opinion that you will probably try those stopwatches again after all. You want to take care of yourself, and you have a lot of resolutions, but - resolutions are still the same. Usually, your good intentions disappear into the abyss of history over time. And you get up from the computer all sore again.

So what to do with a sore neck and back when you feel it's starting to get bad?

In addition to investing in a balance chair or positioning table, regular exercise and intermittent sitting, there is another option that is not talked about much. And that is the massage. Massage can release tension in the muscles and increase blood circulation, thereby contributing to a significantly faster regeneration process. Massage also plays an important role in the prevention of back pain - if you have it regularly, it will help you relax your muscles and keep them flexible, while also providing blood to the tissues.

Are you not a fan of going to the massage parlor or does time not allow it at the moment?

Does it take up too much time and you know you couldn't stand going regularly anyway? Does not matter. Nowadays, many massage therapists offer home visits. And if the masseuse comes to you, it is more likely that you will order it again next time and it will become a regular habit that will help you with back or cervical spine pain.

And if you want a masseuse to do a really good job, invest and buy a home massage bed. This will expand the possibilities that the masseuse will have and you will get even more out of it. In addition, you know that then the result of the massage will be perfect, because he will have essentially the same background as he would have in a massage salon. Most masseuses know several techniques and types of massages that will help you, but not all of them are always feasible at home.

If you're like the majority of the population when it comes to meeting resolutions, having your own masseuse might be the perfect solution for you. We can change computers every year, but we only have one body.
