Are you using a laptop without an external keyboard? If so, you have to hunch over at an awkward angle to see the screen. No amount of stretching or exercise will make that comfortable in the long term.
Get an external keyboard and mouse/trackpad. Make sure your desk is low enough and your chair high enough that your hands rest comfortably on the keyboard with your shoulders down, elbows at a right angle at your side, and wrists straight. Raise your monitor until its center (for a laptop monitor) or a point 2/3 of the way up the screen (for a large monitor) is level with your eyes when sitting fully upright and looking straight ahead.

- cimmanom 8y agoI have no idea if you're doing it right without being able to see. With proper posture, your back will be nearly vertical, and your vertebrae stack directly on top of one another with almost no support from your muscles. You should be able to sit up in your chair and let your chair support your back (your butt should be at the back of your seat instead of slouched to the front).
