Title: How Do You Keep Your Neck & Back From Hurting Being on the Computer So Much Post by: expertinfo888 on June 26, 2018, 07:17:59 PM Thanks to wonderful cryptocurrency, I was able to quit my job and devote myself full time to my interests. My interests are now mostly cryptocurrency ;D I also spend a lot of time developing websites and am learning JavaScript now.
However, because I now use a computer so much more, my neck and back have started hurting more. I am not overweight and exercise every single morning and take walks every night. I now have a sit/stand desk, so I can stand if I want. I use a large screen too. Any other tips that you have learned to take care of your neck and back when sitting all day at the computer? Very appreciated!

You are tilting your head up or down when you look at the screen. Common problem. Raise or lower your monitor so you are starting straight ahead.

My posture is as straight as can be now and the screen is perfectly eye level. Fixing this did help somewhat, but not completely.

My posture is as straight as can be now and the screen is perfectly eye level. Fixing this did help somewhat, but not completely. Sitting up too straight will do the same thing. You are using a muscle constantly and that is what is causing the aches. Try videotaping yourself you an hour and then fast forwarding through the tape. You might be subconsciously flexing something.

Thanks so much.

If you strengthen some muscles as well as improve your sitting position, it'll help. I don't think there is a miracle cure, just a way to minimize the problem.

Maybe I just need to strengthen the right muscles.
