Pre-pandemic, I trained Brazilian jiu-jitsu 5-6x per week - where people are trying to crank on my neck constantly. Your neck gets incredibly thick and strong as a result.
Even with that, I can say that NOTHING sets off my neck pain like 10+ hours at my computer.
- mancerayder 6y agoWould you say a stronger neck reduces problems from the PC all day long?
- dfsegoat 6y agoI think strengthening/mobilizing anything on a regular basis helps prevent issues - I definitely have fewer neck and lower back issues after getting active 5-6x / week. But the 10+ hour days still kill. Need to break those up with mobility.

- mordymoop 6y agoHolding still for long periods is almost the worst thing for muscles. Basically your putting strain on the same set of muscles without actually granting them the sort of natural movement that keeps blood and stuff circulating properly.
