Many people experience chronic neck stiffness and shoulder pain due to prolonged computer and smartphone use. Proper techniques to relax the shoulder and neck muscles can help prevent strain and injury.
Some people who spend long hours sitting in front of a computer have developed the habit of neck-rolling to relieve shoulder and neck tension. While this movement may seem harmless and might even provide some relief, doing it frequently can harm the cervical spine, potentially leading to bone spurs, degenerative arthritis, or even herniated discs. For those who frequently perform neck-rolling, it is crucial to support the back of the neck with your hands and perform the movement gently.
