I find that sitting at a computer all day bothers my back the most. Perhaps I’ll suggest a weekly massage be a part of my employment benefits! I’ll bet that would go over well, lol.

Yet even as I share this as an MT – I do the same stuff. I wholeheartedly feel that even if we were on tropical islands, our connection addicted society would demand a digital connection! Ergonomics is now meaningless when people work from every conceivable position , on planes, in cars, and on airport floors. Love the suggestions.

Great post. I just wanted to give a shout-out for William Dement’s book on sleep. He’s a sleep researcher at Stanford. A valuable resource: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0440509017

Learn how to sit right and you won’t have these kinds of problems to begin with. Proper posture will see you right.

I’d recommend the following book: http://www.amazon.com/Steps-Pain-Free-Back-Solutions-Shoulder/dp/0979303605

A constant niggle. I’m about to buy a new keyboard with the central touchpad to see if it goes away, and a standing desk to change my postition more.

I have found relief from following Esther Gokhale’s methods. I think she has a unique message in all things back/spine/posture related.

Your shoulder and upper back muscles are connected to your neck muscles which connect to muscles on your scalp, all of which can also compress nerves in your head when they are tight. I sometimes get terrible headaches and it took me a while to make the connection that it was actually tight neck muscles causing it, because the pain was in my temples and side of the head and around my eyes. Chiropractic and massage help.
