Neck and Back Pain caused by working at a desk all day

Hundreds of thousands of people sit and work at a desk all day. Many of those people spend hours upon hours of time on the computer, and even more of them go home to… you guessed it, get on the computer for a few more hours. There are many reasons this is bad for a person. For one, sitting for long amounts of time, no matter your weight, size, or how much you exercise, has been suggested to cause problems such as: high blood pressure, heart disease, poor circulation, and improper posture. Sitting at a desk all day can also have a major affect on one’s neck, back, and shoulders. It doesn’t take very long, sitting at a desk and typing, for one’s neck to start to become stiff.

Then, the shoulders start to ache and you begin to wiggle in your chair. Before you know it, your back is aching, and you are changing positions every few minutes. You may even twist in your chair to get your back to pop and loosen up.

This discomfort usually stems from the neck and moves its way down, but why is this? According to physicians, there is a natural or neutral alignment that one’s neck need to be in to avoid discomfort. While we are sitting at desks, our necks are usually jutted forward to either write, or type on a computer screen.

That natural alignment is lost. So, how does one avoid this, teach their neck to stay aligned, and relax all at the same time? The Neck Sofa® Pillow is just the answer! The Neck Sofa® offers optimal support, and is the perfect shape to keep the neck in the neutral/natural curved position, which physicians recommend. The Neck Sofa® also has nine different positions to fit one’s exact needs and to keep pressure off the skin. It’s one of the most versatile pillows on the market today.

To your comfort… Gabe
