what are good exercise to relieve neck pain due to computer use?

I'm glad you asked about exercises that can help alleviate neck pain caused by prolonged computer use. Here are some simple and effective neck exercises that can help reduce tension and improve flexibility:

  1. Neck Rolls: Sit comfortably in a chair with your shoulders relaxed. Gently tilt your head to the side and roll it down your shoulder, then roll it back up the other side. Repeat this motion several times on each side.

  2. Chin Tucks: Sit up straight with your shoulders rolled back and your chin parallel to the floor. Gently tuck in your chin towards your chest, feeling a stretch in the back of your neck. Hold for a few seconds before releasing and repeating several times.

  3. Shoulder Rolls: Raise your shoulders up towards your ears and then roll them forward in a circular motion. Reverse the direction by rolling your shoulders backwards in a circular motion. Repeat this several times.

  4. Stretch Your Chest: Sit at the edge of your chair with your hands on the back of your head, interlacing your fingers. Push your elbows back while keeping your shoulders down, feeling a stretch in your chest and upper back. Hold for 15-30 seconds before releasing.

  5. Side Bends: Sit straight with both hands on the sides of your head. Gently tilt your head towards one shoulder while using your hand to apply gentle pressure. Hold for a few seconds before switching sides. Repeat several times on each side.

  6. Rotations: Sit comfortably and place both hands behind your head, interlacing your fingers. Keeping your elbows wide, gently turn your head from side to side, feeling a stretch in the neck muscles. Repeat several times on each side.

Remember to take frequent breaks while using your computer to give your neck a rest and practice these exercises regularly to help prevent and alleviate neck pain caused by prolonged computer use. It's also essential to maintain good posture, keep your computer screen at eye level, and adjust your chair height to support your feet on the floor.
