One of my favorite resources for avoiding aches & pains
Is sitting at your computer all day a pain in your neck? Or back? or hands?
Extended periods of time in a sitting position + poor posture = aches and pains.
But, relief can be just a few stretches away. Having experienced a bout of wrist tendinitis when I first started my business (yes, I worked too many hours!) I can vouch for the benefits of daily stretches and yoga, as well as frequent breaks.
See some of my favorite resources below.
