Sitting in the office for a long time and looking at the computer can make the arms numb and the shoulders stiff. When you feel uncomfortable, HB recommends that you do fascial soothing and the discomfort will be relieved immediately.
Mr. Fumio Isozaki, director of I.P.F. Institute in Japan, has a lot of experience in directing fascia massage for years. He said: "To get to the root of the stiffness and pain of the body, only doing surface massage will not work. The fascia, which is wrapped around the muscles inside the body, becomes stiff and sticks to each other, preventing the muscles from moving. That's why you need to soothe and relax the fascia more."
The fascia that surrounds the muscles are the endomysium, fascia, and epimysium. To be able to move muscles in a balanced way, these fasciae need to be free of adhesions and remain soft. Mr. Isozaki says, "If you sit for a long time, the endomysium and fascia will become hypertrophic, and muscle movement will deteriorate."
Several types of fascia cover muscles
The fascia that covers the muscles includes the "endomysium" that covers the muscle fibers, the "fascia" that covers the muscle bundles of the muscle fibers, the "myofascial" that covers the bundles of the muscle bundles, and the "deep fascia" that covers the outside of the muscle bundles. "deep fascia". These are all fasciae, which are composed mainly of collagen fibers.
Mr. Isozaki says, "About relaxing the fascia inside the body, it is easier to move the muscles by applying pressure from the outside to relieve the mutual adhesions. The movement of opening the palm and then clenching it directly acts on the fascia of the arm to relax it." Compressed veins and lymph flow freely, which in turn improves pain, stiffness, coldness, swelling, and other discomforts.
Do this exercise when you feel your arms are heavy because of long hours of computer operation. The movement of the arms will be more flexible, and the circulation of lymphatic fluid and venous blood will be smoother.

The stiffness of the neck will compress the carotid artery and cause headaches and another discomfort. Mr. Isozaki says, "Stretch the fascia at the back of the neck to relax it, and the stiffness and pain will be eliminated when the blood circulation improves.
Cross your arms
Place them at the back of the head
Tuck in your chin and straighten your back. Cross your arms behind your head.

Exhale as you press your head forward using the weight of your arms, and close your elbows as much as possible. Breathe slowly while feeling the back of your neck stretched. Be careful not to curl your back. Hold for 1 minute.
Mr. Isozaki says, "The muscles of the shoulders and back overlap each other. The fascia here sticks to each other and the scapula becomes less mobile, causing blood flow to slow down and stiffness to get worse."
