    I work at a 9 – 5 desk job. Although I have a creative career that is fun and extremely enjoyable, my body still holds a lot of tension from sitting at a desk M – F. I got a balance ball to it on, which helps. But sometimes I trade it out for a big, comfy, rolling chair that I can sit pretzel style in and wear my blanket 🙂

    I also have reason to believe that stressful situations from my past can also be attributed to the pain all over my back, neck, shoulders, and sometimes legs, but I imagine that release is release, regardless of the source.

    Anyway, what do YOU do to release physical tension – whether it’s from activity, inactivity, or emotional pain?

    Work out – go to the gym – run – do strength training. I had a back surgery and also work in an office – strength training (mainly your core and back) really helps!

    I also often find that i pile up a lot of tension in my body after sitting at the computer for too long (which is not jobwise, but in my free time), but i’m not aware of it at that time. So i think i should put an alarm clock and oblige myself every X number of time (every half hour or hour or whatever) to get up and move a bit, walk a few steps or do a few stretchings.. And then i usually see that i’m getting tensed. But if i don’t take this little break i don’t notice this so it keeps piling up.

    Perhaps it could help you to set certain times that you have to get up from your desk for a moment and pay attention to your body and move it a bit?

    Me too i have a back problem and i agree with chuminette that strenght training helps a lot, i had that for a while as treatment in the hospital and it did so much for me.

    And, have you tried yoga?
