That constant pain that you get from computer use and slouching doesn't stand a chance with this exercise.
This exercise is great for strengthening those muscles between the shoulder blades.

Place one hand firmly on the bench with the leg of the same side placed on the bench. Keep the back perfectly straight throughout the exercise. Think as though you're pushing your buttock out while holding the chest high.
Keep the elbow in and pull the weight up to your side. You should feel your arm brushing your ribs as you come up and down. At the top of the movement, you really want to feel your shoulder blade being pulled toward the opposite one. The weight needs to be challenging but not too difficult to manage in the beginning.
This exercise should be done in repetitions of 10-15 per arm for about 3-4 sets. Increase the weight to continually challenge the muscles as it gets easier.
See your healthcare provider before starting any exercise program, to be certain it is appropriate for your condition.
