Pain at the back of my neck
I am IT employee who sits with system throughout the day.
Before lockdown:
I used to go to office. I used to get pain in my shoulder sometimes but that won't last for more than a day.
After Lockdown:
I am working from home. I started getting pain at the back of my neck. Its there for more than a month. The pain worsens when I ride my bike. I applied several pain relief oils but still then the pain is there.
I think the pain is due to my wrong sitting posture.
Attached my work setup in home as well.
Kindly advise me on what's wrong in this table and chair and how I can overcome this pain.

Hello Sir,
If you have neck pain,you want to get rid of it as soon as you can. One of the best way to do that is through excercise.
Core excercise can help your neck pain.your core is your abdomen, back and buttecks.
If your core is strong and your holding your head upright as much as possible, your neck won't have to work as harder
Thank you!
