As the weather cools down, you might notice your neck and back feeling stiffer or more painful—especially if you spend long hours at a desk. It’s not just the chill in the air; colder temperatures can cause muscles to tighten up, reducing flexibility and making it easier to strain something, particularly when combined with poor posture or screen time.
In winter, we also tend to move less, hunch more, and stay in one position for longer—whether it’s in front of a computer or curled up on the couch. This lack of movement can lead to tension building in the spine, shoulders, and neck, triggering or worsening headaches and back pain.
If you’re feeling the strain this winter, it might be worth checking in on your posture, movement, and screen habits. Supporting your spinal health can make a real difference to how you feel during the workday—helping you stay more comfortable, focused, and active, even as the temperature drops.
