Neck & Shoulder Tension From Desk Work
Desk work doesn't just create bad posture. It creates structural restrictions and compensation patterns that cause chronic tension.
How Desk Work Creates Tension
When you sit at a desk all day, your head moves forward. Your shoulders round. Your upper back gets tight. Over time, this creates fascial restrictions that don't just go away when you stand up.
These restrictions create compensation patterns. Your neck and shoulders have to work harder to hold your head up. Your breathing gets restricted. Everything gets tight and achy.
The Connection
Posture & Breathing
Poor posture restricts breathing, which creates tension. Learn about the breathing and posture connection.
Structural Restrictions
Fascial restrictions in your neck, shoulders, and upper back create chronic tension that stretching won't fix.
Compensation Patterns
Your body compensates for desk work, creating patterns that cause tension. Learn about compensation patterns.
The Solution
Address the structural restrictions that desk work creates. Release the fascial restrictions in your neck, shoulders, and upper back. Restore proper alignment. Then build movement patterns that counter the effects of desk work.
