Yes, sitting at work for extended periods can lead to neck pain due to poor posture, lack of movement, and strain on the neck muscles from looking at a screen for long periods. To help prevent neck pain, it's essential to practice good ergonomics by ensuring your chair and computer setup support a neutral spine alignment, taking regular breaks to stretch and move, and incorporating yoga poses and stretches to release tension in the neck and shoulders. Maintaining awareness of your posture and incorporating mindfulness practices can also help alleviate and prevent neck pain associated with prolonged sitting at work.
