Computer professionals sit at a computer for prolonged periods of time for their job, one of the most common complaints for them is neck pain. Neck pain may originate from any of the structures in the neck, which includes muscles, nerves, spine and the cushioning disc. Non specific neck pain is the one which is not due to serious disease or neck problem and also there is no exact cause for this neck pain but the contributing factors for non specific neck pain include having poor posture while working with computer, placing computer monitor too high or too low, sleeping in an uncomfortable position. Various measures are available for reducing neck pain includes taking pain killers, maintaining proper body mechanics and exercises. One of the exercise is isometric exercise. It is found to be effective in contracting the muscle without appreciable change in length also it increases the strength and endurance of muscle, thereby reducing the discomfort and stiffness.
