I've had neck/back problems for some years now. Mine are controlled by reg chiro visits and learning my limitations. My chiro recommends not sitting in one place to do anything for more than 1/2 at a time. I do that at home and at work and it does seem to help. I get up and move around for a few minutes every 1/2 hour. If I'm doing something intense and can feel the tension mounting I try to work it out and relax more. It's kept me 98% pain free for almost 20 years now.
