Typing and most desk work is a very static "holding" posture for the most part.
That posture makes your upper back muscles have to hold the extra weight of the head and arms while they are forward of the body... the constant tension in those muscles is a big part of the problem. tension in muscles = lack of blood flow & oxygen to those same muscles.. so they get strained /stretched and often trigger points.. If continued with no changes spasms come next.. Much of this can be fixed with serious focus on posture /opposite postures, and a lot of time away from those duties, but often many can't take the time away. But an expert TOS dr / expert PT / expert DC , is a good idea to make sure there is no anatomical reason or causes for yourTOS. Anatomical factors are usually the clearest reason to look into surgery, as well as serious vascular symptoms.

Also, I have heard of computer programmers with severe Repetitive Strain Injury making use of Dragon software to stay employed. I think it all depends on the kind of work you do. I can send you some links and a good forum to peruse if you are interested. |
