Small resets every hour keep tension from turning into pain. Try these between meetings.
Why Desk Neck Happens
When your head moves forward, the muscles at the back of the neck work overtime to hold it up. Over weeks that load turns into stiffness, headaches and knots between the shoulder blades.
Five Two-Minute Resets
Chin tucks, doorway chest stretches, upper-trap stretches, seated twists and shoulder rolls. Do one every hour and set a reminder until it becomes a habit.
When to Book a Massage
If stretching helps for an hour but the ache keeps coming back, deep tissue or therapeutic massage can release what stretching alone cannot reach.
Therapist tip
Book your next session within three weeks. Muscles hold change better with steady follow-up.
