I work in office during 5 days from 7 and considering my current job (I'm a copywriter) I need to sit during my working day really much. In the beginning it was ok, however later I started to suffer from back and neck pain because of this, expecially closer to the end of the working day. Sadly I have no opportunity for more moving and even making at least several simple physical exercises is a problem because our office is really small... What can you suggest me to do? Maybe there are some other solutions for my problem? Feeling that pain almost every day is really frustrating...:((

I know very much your problem, when i was younger i wanted to be Strongman and also MMA fighter, well not was glorious and i ended this story with some broked bones and with a herniated disc on the last vertebrae, so that gives me a lot of back and neck pain, like everyday..
What i do normally:
Stretching before and after work.
Do some breaks when you start to feel the back starting to asleep...
I bought a gamer chair, that really improved my posture (but i need to do some 5-8 minutes breaks after 2 hours )
And if you got really destroyed like if a Transformer made a overrun on you..
Buy some thermal bag and put on the critical place and before sleep do that position on the photo:
hug your legs for some time!!

Hope that i helped !!
I actually met one guy who had the same Issue and he said after he started his diet ( only eating in the night/ evening, like one meal but bigger ) he didnt experienced any back pain anymore - after eating breakfast / lunch he does.
And at home, since im on my PC alot, i got myself one of those 'gaming' chairs.
To my surprise, its been really great overall and well worth the price.
I'd highly recommend getting one.

Cool thing about yoga classes is that you can sign up for a studio and do it every day, whereas every physio session is going to be between $75-100. And you'll actually get a good workout with it. Combine yoga with good posture and hopefully that would reduce so much back pain.
