Back, Neck and Shoulder Pains .. am I getting too old?

Do you get that uncomfortable pain in either your back, shoulders, neck ... or a combination of each? Do you spend a lot of time in front of a computer or laptop, or looking down at your smartphone screen? I think that most of us do and if not already we are all heading in the direction of experiencing the above symptoms. But where does the pain come from?

I am not going to dive into much detail about this. For those interested readers I suggest reading a very valuable post by Alexander Heyne in his article 3 PROVEN Ways to Permanently Fix Your Neck and Shoulder Pain (And Maybe Your Migraine Headaches).

When you realize what is causing all of this you will immediately understand what we are all doing wrong. I would say that posture is the most important thing to keep in mind when using such devices. My advice is to as much as possible try to think of holding something with the top of your heads in order to keep your spine straight.

Also we should try to force breaks during which we can do some neck, hands and hip rotations and stretching. Just make sure that the latter are self-explanatory and that they won't raise any suspicious looks from any nearby colleagues!
