Hey everyone,

Did you know that neck pain is more common in office workers than in any other profession? On average, 52% of people who work primarily at a desk will experience some form of neck pain. That's over half of your office!

But don’t worry, we’ve got your back (and neck). Researchers have discovered an easy tip you can try today with little to no effort:

Microbreaks

These have been shown to reduce tension in four major postural muscle groups and decrease overall neck pain complaints. Simply take a 30-second break every 20 minutes of desk work. That’s it! No sweat required!

I know what you’re thinking—too good to be true, right? It sounds like magic, but it really works!

Want an even better tip? Try the 20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This not only helps your neck but also gives your eyes a much-needed break from the screen.

Of course, for maximum results, receiving physical therapy at Lion PT is your best bet. At the end of the day, quick tips are no replacement for an expert eye. Our personalized sessions often include a variety of mobility and strengthening exercises, as well as manual therapy (stay tuned for more info on this).
