Run, Jog And Do Whatever Exercise To Get Rid Of The Back Pain
Run, Jog and do whatever exercise to get rid of the back pain I have a back pain as I am working with a software company for four and half years and this has resulted me with this problem. I have knocked the doors of many doctors and specialists to get rid of this at this young age. Every one suggested me exercise along with some pocket burning tests. I never cared for the exercise since I am too lazy without my computer.

Hello
Thanks for the concern
As you are with soft ware company may be need to work on computer for long time sitting in same posture ,neck down to see at the monitor for long time. You will have neck,eye and severe back pain.
To avoid or to get relief:
See that your chair is supporting your back and neck while working.
Hands are well supported.
take yoyr eyes off every 15 mins.
stretch your legs and hands every half an hour.
Rotate your necck side and up and down (neck exercises)
stand up and take five mins walk in the office every hour
small exercises like rotation of ankle and wrist, strech outs every hour will help
try to keep your back straight supported by a good seating arrangement.
You need to follow these routinely in long run.
If still pain persists can consult an orthopedician for needful opinion and can go for physiotherapy.
Hope i have tried to answer

It is rightly said, the problem lies in us we dont feel the importance of exercise in our profession and we think these solutions said by doctors are quite generic. But they matter a lot and change a bang of difference.

None of you are posting some exercises to start with, please post some for my sake..I heard many of my colleagues who went on doctor shopping in search of the correct solution found useful at Occupational therapist. I think he would be a great find for all of you.
