Do you ever wonder what causes that persistent tightness in your Mid-Back and upper back? It’s a common complaint for many, and it can be attributed to various factors that affect our daily lives.
Let’s explore some of the common causes:
-
Sitting without Back Support:
If you spend long hours sitting in chairs that lack proper lumbar support, you’re likely to experience discomfort in your mid and upper back. Maintaining good posture while sitting is essential for back health.
- Lengthy Computer Work: In today’s digital age, many of us spend hours working on computers. This sedentary activity often leads to poor posture and muscle tension in the upper back.
- Movie Night on the Couch: While cozy movie nights are enjoyable, prolonged hours spent hunched over on the couch can strain.
- A Mattress that’s Too Soft: Your mattress plays a crucial role in supporting your spine as you sleep. If your mattress is too soft or old, it may not provide the necessary support, leading to back stiffness.
The causes you’ve listed are indeed prevalent, and many people can’t endure these activities for an extended period without experiencing discomfort.
Some individuals are quite skilled at alleviating muscle tension and pain in their mid and upper back through self-care practices. However, it’s essential to acknowledge that most individuals may not trust their abilities when it comes to their above all Mid-Back bodies. To address this, I’ve created a video that guides you through a series of movements and exercises.
Remember, there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to relieving back tension. It’s important to listen to your body all of a sudden and progress at your own pace.
