Sitting in front of a computer all day restricts your blood flow and results in muscle contraction and knots.  This can be prevented by following these easy steps:

 Posture – Lower your chair so you are looking up at your screen, not sitting like a turtle.  Keep your screen at least 30-50cm away from your eyes.

 Stretch – Every 2 hours or so, do these stretches. Try to hold for 20 seconds each:

 

1. Neck – tilt, Rotate your head right & left.  Bring chin to chest and hold, and then look up.
