Unshrug Your Shoulders: A Desk Worker's Guide to Lasting Upper Back Pain Relief

Synopsis

DeskRelief: The 7-Day Rhomboid Relief Program is a practical, strength-based guide created for desk and laptop workers who suffer from recurring pain between the shoulder blades, upper back, neck, or traps — pain that stretching, massage, and temporary fixes never seem to resolve. Millions of people experience chronic rhomboid and upper-back discomfort caused by long hours of sitting, poor desk ergonomics, and weak postural support muscles. Many are told to stretch more, roll more, or accept the pain as normal. This book challenges that narrative. Instead of chasing symptoms, DeskRelief focuses on the root cause: posture-related muscle imbalance and a lack of strength endurance in the muscles responsible for supporting the shoulder blades during prolonged sitting. Through a simple, structured 7-day system, this book teaches readers how to: understand why their pain keeps coming back stop habits that silently make symptoms worse rebuild postural support with targeted strength reduce reliance on stretching and massage prevent pain from returning during desk work The program centers on just three fundamental exercises — pull-ups, dumbbell rows, and properly performed shrugs — combined with precise desk setup rules, posture guidelines, and daily movement strategies. No complicated rehab routines. No long workouts. No guesswork. DeskRelief is designed for real workdays. Each day requires only 12–20 minutes and fits easily around a desk-based lifestyle. The goal is not perfect posture or instant cures, but a body that can hold posture comfortably without constant tension or flare-ups. This book is not a medical treatment or a replacement for professional care. It is an educational, practical system for people whose pain is created by sitting — and who want a clear, safe, and sustainable solution.
