15 Best Shoulder Stretch Sequences to Do If Working at Your Computer Is Hurting Your Neck

Mouse shoulder, computer neck, or a plain old bad back. Whatever you call it, staring at your computer all day while working (or binging Netflix, no judgement) can cause serious neck, back, and shoulder pain, and because many people tend to hunch or slouch while sitting at the computer, it can cause tension and pain all throughout the body.

Some dedicated desk-workers recommend using an exercise ball or a standing desk to alleviate pain caused by sitting in the same chair all day. But one of the easiest ways to relieve shoulder and neck tension is simply by stretching. So, if your shoulders are aching from hours of sitting at your desk, try one of these shoulder stretch sequences on YouTube.
