Ergonomics :: FAQ
I find computer work very stressful. Can this be causing the muscle knots in my neck?
 
You could do absolutely nothing physical all day with the exception of thinking stressful thoughts and the likelihood of you obtaining a muscle knot in your neck is just as great as if you work in front of a computer all day. Combine the two together and you have big problems. Stress decreases the blood flow to your muscles causing irritating waste products to accumulate. If the stress is not stopped, the muscle has no time to rest and repair.
