Many engineers and desk workers spend around 8 -12 hours each day looking at screens, leaning forward, and carrying stress in the neck and shoulders. All in all, being in compromising positions for many hours of their days.
Over time, those muscles begin pulling on the base of the skull. That is one of the biggest reasons people develop:
- tension headaches
- migraines
- neck pain
- jaw tightness
- pain between the shoulders
The muscles most often involved are the upper traps, rhomboids, levator scapulae, suboccipitals, jaw muscles, and upper neck.
Many people assume their headaches are “just stress” or “just part of the job.” But those patterns can often be changed with a good therapeutic regimen.
