Stack a bunch of books under your laptop and get a keyboard. Head should be looking straight ahead, not down, and screen should be eye level. Armrests should be level with the desk. Butt should be firmly back in your seat with your back straight (use the lumbar adjustments on you chair and make sure it doesn’t lean back or let you slouch). Knees should be close to 90 degrees if you can given the desk height and armrests.

Totally! My neck cramps drove me to the emergency room last year. Since getting the theragun, and using it regularly, it's like I never had neck cramps..
Also good for quick recovery after intense training.
I know this sounds salesy, but it's true!

Honestly, a good physical therapist is very worth the money. They should do manual work (like a massage) and then show you stretches and exercises ☺️

I used to get neck pain all the time. I got a standing desk with a laptop stand (look up roost laptop stand on Amazon) and it has done wonders. Neck pain can come from how your neck is positioned. If you are looking down at your laptop all day - that’s a lot of stress on your neck.
