    Maybe you need a better chair. The chair you sit on has an effect on your bones and body.

    There are some chairs – expensive – that are made for people who sit at work all day.
    They are $500+ but have great reviews….
    Here is a link if you are interested . It is called Herman miller & they are supposedly the best in the back pain etc chair dept.

    As an occupational therapy student, I’d like to make a few suggestions. It is important to take breaks during the day and do stretches – especially for your neck muscles to prevent strain. Make sure that your computer is at eye-level so you don’t put extra strain on your neck (even when texting bring your phone up to eye level – to reduce your risk of getting “text neck”). Hope this helps!
