So I‘ve been a gamer for all my life, never experienced back pain. Not while on the couch, not while pc gaming, never.

But now since I work on a computer in an office all day long, after not even 2 hours my back feels weird and i have the urge to stretch and bend and even crack it, even though i never did thos, not even after a wow all-nighter.

Any tips?

    The best remedies against back pain are:

    1. Good posture Keep a straight back as much, 90 degree knees and elbows.
    2. Excercise Work on moving your back a couple times per week, focus on building back and core muscles and mobility and flexibility of the back.
    3. Changing position When possible try to stand up at your desk from time to time, or go for short walks around the office. I like to drink lots of water so toilet breaks allow me to walk and stretch a little.

    However if it continues and you seem to be getting warm sensations in your back I would recommend going to a doctor to get it checked out.
