Your neck,
shoulder and upper back muscles are hard at work resisting the force
of gravity to keep your arms and head in position for typing and using
a mouse. Holding these positions for extended periods of time causes
prolonged muscular contractions that impede blood flow. This reduces
the transport of oxygen, nutrients and waste products into and out of
the affected areas, resulting in sore, tight and aching muscles. The
longer or more frequently you hold your arms in typing/mousing
positions, the greater the risk of injury to muscles, nerves and other
tissues of the neck, shoulders and back.
The
Deskerciser™ program involves rhythmic contraction and relaxation of
muscles in the upper body, thereby enhancing the transport of oxygen,
nutrients and muscular waste products. Used as a warm-up before
starting work or during breaks throughout the day, the Deskerciser™
will relieve soreness and tightness and help prevent musculoskeletal
disorders (MSDs) in the neck, shoulders and back.
Designer's
Story
"Like many other office workers, my neck and shoulders
would get sore from long bouts on the computer. My shoulder blades
would be on fire and it hurt to turn my head to the side. Lunchtime
walks brought relief—arms pumping got the blood pumping—and the
aches and pains would go away. "
"One day, desperate
for relief but with no time for a walk, I hopped on the office
NordicTrack™. Without moving my legs
and without tension on the cord, I just pulled my arms back.
After a few minutes I felt better. Eureka! So I incorporated short
breaks on the NordicTrack™ throughout my
workday, experimenting with arm positions that best targeted trouble
spots. This developed into an effective 3-minute routine--too bad
others couldn't reap the benefits of a ski machine at work. But only
the pulley, cord and handles were needed, not the whole machine. Once
the problem of portability was solved, I had a solution that my
friends in other offices could use to relieve their computer-related
sore neck, back and shoulders." - Deborah Mullen, CSCS

the Deskerciser for just a few minutes, I feel energized - my
