I had some bad shoulder pain this morning, my shoulder has been suffering a bit in the past few weeks. I think this has been caused by how I use my computers and the position I sit in. I've tried to shift my position to help with this.

I should find a shoulder exercise program that would build up some muscle as well.

Do you have any tips for easing shoulder pain for those who work on computers a lot?

@turumore There are some very easy things one can do most any time, anywhere, like putting your arms down at your sides, palms facing in, and pulling your shoulders up slowly, then releasing them, repeating several times. When you finish those keep your shoulders down and pull them back as far as you can and hold for several seconds and release.
Move your arms around slowly in ever increasing circles, backwards, then repeat forwards.
It especially seems to help before bed, as one sleeps better.

@Euphoria Thank you for sharing, I absolutely have to try this out before sleeping. I feel like I am at my worst right before and after sleeping.

@turumore You're welcome! I hope it helps and that you quickly find great relief!
Of course there are a whole lot of other exercises you can do, some of them in bed, but I find that just starting out with those few things that will loosen up and realign make a huge difference for me. In fact, I've been doing them myself since reading what you shared.

@Euphoria I did some of the moves just now, only to realise how super stiff my shoulders really are. Yikes! Definitely doing some more later. Thanks again!
