3M ergonomic mouse, Microsoft natural keyboard, monitor sits on a separate, lower desk behind my main work desk. I can sit up straight with my neck long and stretched and look down on the screen.
In 2008 I had very severe carpal tunnel syndrome for over a year. Then I found a clinic that had specialized in pain patients. They found out that the muscles my neck where shortened and weak. Neck is connected to shoulder is connected to arm is connect to wrists leading to my symptoms. Got a lot of exercises to lengthen and strengthen my neck. That fixed the wrist pains. Whenever they rise again I start do these exercises and it goes away.
My current construction site are the muscles that connect the legs to your hips/lower abdomen. They shorten too, due to the constant sitting position plus going by bike to work. This leads to back pains/slipped disks. Need to lengthen them as well.
- lostdog 7y agoWould you share what neck exercises worked for you?
- splittingTimes 7y agoPain symptom and cause have a non-local connection. A co-worker of mine was there too, same symptoms, but he had disfunctional pectoral muscles. So his exercises where different. My exercises are hard to describe in words. I spend a week in physiotherapy at that clinic with 3 sessions a 1.5h a day, where they show you the exercises and correct your position. I'll try to find videos for you.
