Check your Posture
How many of the below do you recognise?
Maybe they will urge you into taking notice of yourself and others posture.
The main cause of eye strain is from viewing Computer screens at the incorrect angle or when viewing for long periods when
Seeing your slumped posture, everybody, well-meaning, chips in with the same advice: Sit up! Stand straight!
It soon becomes obvious that this is a struggle. Hence the next juicy bit of advice.
"Do your back and shoulders feel too weak? Then strengthen them! Start a regime of exercises to strengthen your back and shoulder muscles!"
I hope you can now see what bad advice this really is. Your back muscles are already being worked too hard. That's why they don't feel strong enough.
Muscle is fighting muscle in a relentless tug-of-war. When you make the extra effort to be truly straight, the resulting appearance of good posture is a stiff, tiring and unnatural travesty - far less functional, even, than the slump you are trying to correct.
That's why it ends in pain - often extremely severe pain. To get rid of the pain for good you need to sort this mess out.
Just building more muscle (so that it can stand more strain) may relieve the pain short-term, but it will also give you the strength to tighten yourself up even more.
The pain of permanently over-worked muscles is often unbearable. I've seen muscle pain officially labelled as nerve pain simply because the doctor could not believe that such intense pain could possibly be muscular. It can be and often is.
For instance, sorting all this out properly normally gets rid of frequent migraine headaches - for good. Often symptoms begin to respond quite quickly - as muscles are no longer forced to work quite so hard.
