Computer work creates predictable strain patterns: forward head, rounded shoulders, stiff mid back, and tight wrists. Regular breaks with targeted exercises prevent these patterns from becoming permanent. These five exercises address computer-specific damage. They take two minutes and work at any workstation. Start Your 14-Day Free Trial The Exercises 1. Neck Rotation Why it works: Monitors lock the neck in one position. Regular rotation releases the muscles that hold this fixed posture. JME 1 Look left and then right 2. Chin Tucks Why it works: Screen viewing pushes the head forward. Chin tucks correct this position and strengthen the muscles that maintain alignment. JME 6 Gently tuck your chin to your chest 3. Behind Head Elbow Movement Why it works: Hands behind head, moving elbows forward and back opens the chest. This counters the rounded shoulder position of typing. JME 42 With your hands behind your head, extend your elbows forward and back. 4. Seated Thoracic Rotation Why it works: Rotation restores mid back mobility. The chair provides stability for effective thoracic movement. JME 150 Sitting in your chair, rotate your upper body both left and right. Don't do this too fast - find what works for you. 5. Wrist Flexion and Extension Why it works: Keyboard and mouse work stiffens the wrists. Moving through full range prevents cumulative restriction. JME 193 Keeping your forearm in the same poition, rotate your wrist up and down. How to Use This Routine Move slowly and controlled. Do not force range of motion beyond what feels comfortable.
