How was your day at the computer screen? Did you get up and move around every 30-40 minutes? How does your neck feel – stiff and sore, with a headache or tight shoulders? Chances are that it directly relates to your posture at work.
Activities that are repeated or prolonged can affect the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints of the neck and back. These include the following:
The key to protecting your neck is to keep both your head and neck in a neutral position while maintaining the natural curve of your cervical spine – the part that supports your head. Follow these tips to ensure that you take good care of your spine and neck.
Most people sit with the monitor too low for them, their desks too high, and without setting up the chair for their individual needs. Follow these tips to reduce the strain your daily routine is causing.
It is essential to protect your spine when lifting light and heavy objects – because even picking up paperclips and coins from the floor can cause problems.
Our bodies like to move. Sitting in one position for long periods, however good your posture, will put stress on your body.
If you find you are suffering from recurring back and neck pain despite taking these precautions, it may be that the root cause is stress-related.
Stress can both drain your energy and impact your performance, leading to a no-win situation. If you find that your current role is starting to affect your health, consider taking time off. It may also be time for you to change the office you work in.
