You know the feeling.

You’re working in front of your computer and you feel that all-too-familiar
tightness beginning to squeeze your neck.

It’s a sign that a tension headache is coming on.

The next time that happens, don’t reach for the Advil. Do the behind-the-back
stretch instead.

It can be done sitting or standing.

If you’re going to sit, make sure you have a chair with backing that comes
halfway up your back.

Hook your arms over the back of the chair and pull your shoulder blades
together.

If you’re standing, assume the military position:

head up
shoulders back
stomach tight

As you do this, make sure you stick your chest out. As this is very important,
you should exaggerate a little bit – and make sure you keep you head up, too.

Pull your shoulder blades together until you feel a pull in your shoulder joints.
Don’t go overboard on this; you don’t want to cause any pain.

Now hold this stretch for three full minutes (don’t cheat and quit early; the
length of this stretch is very important).

At the end of this stretch, you should feel your back muscles loosen a bit; you
may even feel a warm rush of blood up the back of your neck.

Take breaks throughout the day to perform this stretch.

How often? Well, you definitely want to do it the minute you feel tightness
developing in your neck and upper back. A good rule of thumb is to do this stretch
at least every hour.

It might seem inconvenient, but believe me, it’s worth it.
