Physical therapy offices are seeing more and more upper back and neck tension complaints. The increasing time spent sitting at a computer and in traffic are to blame and it’s hard to avoid getting stiff and achy even if you are normally very active.
Most of our daily activities are done while seated and with a forward motion. Over time, gravity makes the shoulders begin to round, the chest become constricted with the head jutting out. The upper back then gets stretched and rounded.
The result is tight pectorals and weakened back muscles. You start using muscles that weren’t meant for posture and they get sore. Yoga for backs therapy teaches you some easy to do, highly effective poses that really pay off if practised daily. In the meatime, a good back brace will give you some good support to relieve the pain.
