Architecture combines intensive computer work with physical model building and site visits. CAD sessions demand sustained screen focus. Physical models require precision hand work. Client presentations and site visits add standing and walking demands. Each creates distinct strain patterns. The creative nature of design work makes time disappear. Hours pass in focused work without movement breaks. Get your personalized routine: Start your 14-day free trial CAD Session Recovery Extended screen work creates neck and shoulder strain. JME 1 Look left and then right JME 6 Gently tuck your chin to your chest 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. Mouse and Drafting Strain Precision mouse work and sketching strain your forearm and wrist. JME 196 Hold onto your hand to find a gentle stretch in your forearm and wrist. Don't force any range of motion - listen to your body. JME 199 With one hand, hold onto the outside of the other hand for a gentle stretch. Don't force the range - listen to what your body needs. Model Building Recovery Physical model work creates different strain than computer work. JME 154 Either sitting or standing at your desk, extend your upper body toward the direction behind you - either putting your arms above your head or keeping them at your side. JME 52 Hug one arm across your body for a gentle stretch. Presentation Posture Client presentations and reviews require extended standing. JME 232 Starting flat on your feet, rise to stand on your toes. Fall back down to your flat feet and then stand on your heels. This movement should be fluid and stable. JME 113 Place one knee on your chair and move that knee both forward and back to feel a stretch in the front of your leg. Site Visit Recovery Construction site visits add walking on uneven terrain. JME 91 Placing one foot on a slightly elevated surface (or even just in front of you on the floor), rotate your upper body in both direcions. JME 44 Starting with your hand at the side, bring your arm up, over your head, then back down to the side. Project Phase Adaptation Schematic phases mean heavy CAD work.
