You MUST know these moves to relieve back or neck pain. I’m a trainer and these are the 3 moves you MUST know to beat back or neck pain Experts warn that sitting at a desk all day or driving for long periods of time is bad for your neck and spine Relaxing and stretching your muscles, taking regular breaks and relaxing can help By Rebecca Whittaker For Mailonline Updated: 07:50 EDT 20 May 2023 Sitting at a computer or driving for long periods of time can be terrible for our posture, causing us to suffer from crippling neck and back pain. There are some very simple things that millions of people can do to avoid any discomfort. As we’ve heard for years, this can include taking regular breaks and spending less time on your phone. According to Dr Darren Player of London, a personal trainer, there are a few exercises that can also help. Dr Player is a lecturer at University College London who specializes in musculoskeletal engineering. He has shared his tips with MailOnline. These simple exercises can relieve neck and upper back discomfort. The exercises involve rotating the neck, keeping the head in neutral position and strengthening upper back muscle. Exercises include rotating the neck, strengthening the upper back muscles and keeping the head in neutral position. Beginners should do six to eight repetitions with a break of 60 seconds — repeated up to 3 times. Dr Player suggests that you can increase this to eight to ten repetitions, for a maximum of five sets. He said: “These exercises can easily be done multiple times per day and, more importantly, during breaks when posture has been fixed over a long period of time. ‘Perform movements slowly, and only move in a range that is comfortable. Stop immediately if you feel any pain. Neutral posture According to Dr Player, simply standing in neutral position can help relieve your upper back and neck. Start by standing with feet hip-widths apart. Relax your shoulders and hold your head in neutral forward position. Try to practice this simple movement multiple times per day. Dr Player said that this will relax muscles after postures have been fixed for a long period of time. You should not sit in one position for longer than an hour. He said that taking breaks and moving about will help reduce muscle tension. Neck rotations Rotating your neck can relieve pain, especially if you’re stooped over your phone and have been for a long time. Dr Player recommends three types of neck exercise: neck rotation, neck extension and flexion, and a lateral bend. Turn your head slowly from left-to-right, until you can see your shoulder. You must lower your head so that it is close to your chest, and then raise it to a position where you are able to see the ceiling or sky. For lateral flexion, rotate the ear slowly to the opposite side. Dr Player recommends that you perform these neck rotations six to eight times with a break of 60 seconds before repeating the exercise three times. Even if you just spend less time on your phone, this can help. He said: “Reducing the time we spend on our devices, and changing how we use them, can have an immediate impact.” If you’re using your device, raise it up so that you don’t have to strain your neck in order to see too far down. Shoulder squeeze Increase your muscle strength and flexibility to relieve upper back pain. Dr Player says that the shoulder squeeze helps to improve posture by opening the chest, working the central muscles in the back. To perform the move, raise both arms in front of you to shoulder height and bend the elbows so that the arms are at a 90-degree angle. Imagine that you are squeezing a orange between your shoulder blades. Hold it in the squeezed-position before returning and repeating this move.
