After a few hours at a computer, a long drive, or an evening of studying, your upper back may start to feel tight, tired, or uncomfortable. For many people, there isn't one obvious injury behind it. Instead, upper back tightness can develop after spending long periods in the same position, especially when combined with limited movement, repetitive computer work, stress, and other daily h

You know the feeling. You finish a long stretch at the computer, stand up, and suddenly notice your neck feels tight, your shoulders are sitting up near your ears, and your upper back feels stiff.
