The Desk Job Pain Problem
If you work at a computer for 8+ hours a day, you already know the pain — tight shoulders, stiff neck, aching lower back. In India, with the WFH culture growing and many people working from dining tables and beds, the problem is even worse.
A massage gun can fix this in just 5 minutes a day. Here's your exact routine.
The 5-Minute Office Worker Massage Routine
Minute 1: Neck Release (Both Sides)
Use the bullet attachment on the lowest speed. Gently run along the sides of your neck from the base of your skull down to your shoulders. 30 seconds each side.
Why: Looking at a screen all day causes "tech neck" — your neck muscles shorten and tighten.
Minute 2: Shoulder Tension (Both Sides)
Switch to the ball attachment. Target the top of each shoulder (upper trapezius). These muscles hold most of your stress. 60 seconds total.
Why: Hunching over a keyboard raises your shoulders unconsciously, creating chronic tension.
Minute 3: Upper Back (Between Shoulder Blades)
Use the flat attachment on medium speed. Work the area between your shoulder blades. Move slowly up and down. Lean against a chair if needed.
Why: Rounded posture from desk work weakens these muscles and creates knots.
Minute 4: Lower Back
Ball attachment, medium speed. Target the muscles on either side of your lower spine. Never on the spine itself. 30 seconds each side.
Why: Sitting compresses your lower back. Poor chairs make it worse.
Minute 5: Forearms and Wrists
Flat attachment, low speed. Run along the top and bottom of each forearm. 30 seconds each arm.
Why: Typing and mouse use causes forearm tightness that can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome.
Best Times to Do This Routine
- Mid-afternoon (3-4 PM) — When pain peaks from sitting all morning
- End of workday — Release the full day's tension before it becomes chronic
- On meeting breaks — Keep the gun at your desk for quick 1-minute sessions
Desk Setup Tips (Prevent Pain in the First Place)
- Screen at eye level — stack books under your laptop if needed

- Use a rolled towel behind your lower back for support
