Like many working people, computer specialists, goldsmiths and lorry drivers are prime candidates for muscle tension. A sports injury, an age-related overuse injury or a static defect such as a lordotic curved back or planovalgus foot can also lead to a stiff neck or back pain, noted Nils Graf Stenbock-Fermor, chairman of the German Orthopaedic Association. Muscle tension occurs when a muscle contracts and hardens. Dieter Breithecker, director of Germany’s Federal Working Group for Posture and Mobilization Support, called muscle tension “a classic legacy of our evolutionary history”. Of course, pinpointing the cause in such cases is more difficult than when muscle tension results from an acute or overuse injury, or from improper body posture. Other ways to prevent muscle tension include using an ergonomic keyboard, a standing desk, a chair adjusted to the proper height or one whose seat can be tilted. read more
