I wake up one day and encounter a stinging pain in my neck, it
causes such acute pain when I was doing daily tasks like bending,
standing, sitting or climbing stairs. I couldn't take it any and decide
to seek specialist help. Apparently the trapezius muscle has tightened
in my back, it became shorter. The pain I experienced in this muscle may
further reverberate down into other parts of the body. The trapezius
muscle is one of the larger muscles found in the human anatomy.
My doctor informed me that spasms in this muscle can be triggered by poor ergonomics, stress, lack of exercise, tension, or maintaining a sedentary position for extended periods of time. The doctor's explanation and diagnosis made perfect sense to me, as I had recently been sitting in front of the computer for a solid ten to twelve hours a day. She also mentioned that this muscle is very sensitive to emotions like anxiety, worry or frustration.
I immediately reviewed my working space for potential improvements to its layout. I realized that my keyboard was at the center of the desk, while monitor was slightly off to one side. I adjusted this so the monitor would be directly in front of me, aligned with the keyboard, and my head would not be turned at an angle. My eyes were now level with the top of the monitor and that felt better.
For the posture, resist seating slouched by getting an improved back support and a comfortable upright position. Feet should be placed flat on the floor with the knees straight and shoulders back. The chair have to raised to a position so the legs can be in the right placement.
Get up from your work every hour to stretch and walk around to prevent over stressing your spine and trapezius muscle. Flexing your muscles help to improve circulation and drinking lots of water help to curb dehydration and force out the bad toxins in your body.
