Neck pain and the computer crunch:
Hello to you all from the
In the meantime, don’t let your computer make you hurt! There are so many people developing spinal pain from poor postures and large volumes of computer use. The challenging part can be that you often don’t feel the gradual onset of damage as it happens. Once pain has set in, however, it can be very hard to budge. Very hard indeed.
Making sure your computer is set up right is paramount. So too, is having frequent breaks and moving around during the day.
I have included these pictures to help you re-shuffle things. (I am the proud user of a laptop riser and separate keyboard and touch pad for when my MacBook is stationed at my desk.)
Remember, you can use a footstool under your feet if you need to.
The lady on the left is not doing so well, her twin sister on the right is loving life. Don’t succumb to the computer crunch!
To finish with , I have included something I stumbled upon when googling ergonomic chairs – this is an ergonomic chair designed specifically for men.
(I’m not sure what is more disturbing, the fact that someone actually manufactured it in the first place, or the fact that it appears to be so well worn!)
Have a great week, and remember to visit www.physios-online.com for all of your personalized injury needs.
