Exercises To Reduce Neck Pain

By Paperstone on November 22, 2009 in Office Workers

Among office workers, repetitive strain injury in the neck is caused by working long periods in bad postures with a computer keyboard and mouse. The neck pain is most commonly associated with the trapezius muscle, a triangular muscle that extends from the neck of the head to the back. However, a team of Danish researchers has found that exercising the trapezius can reduce the pain and improve the muscle. For more information on the exercises, visit the original New Scientist blog post.
