More than 60 Stretching Exercises for Computer Users

Much of computer-related pain is caused by shortened muscles with tender trigger points (Myofascial Pain Syndrome). Effective Stretching releases the trigger points (TrPs) and often brings relief.

• TrPs in neck, shoulder, and arm muscles can contributes to elbow pain, wrist pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome. The muscles of the fingers and hands can be a problem too.


• TrPs in the neck and shoulder muscles can cause headaches.


• TrPs and tension in the neck and shoulder muscles can increase neck and upper back tension and pain.


• TrPs in the back, hips abdomen, and groin can contribute to lower back pain, hip pain, and sciatica.
