Do you spend too many hours in front of the laptop? If yes, that could be one reason for all the strrain on the neck and back. We have already discussed how prolonged sitting could be killing you. Let\u2019s find out how by maintaining a good posture and staying active throughout the day, you can minimize the risk of back pain and many other health related issues.<\/p>\n

Here are some easy ways of preventing back pain at your workplace:<\/p>\n

1 . Choose a Good Chair<\/b><\/p>\n

Pick one that allows your lower back to rest against a lumbar support. The chair should allow you to rest both feet flat on the floor while keeping your knees level with your hips. Tilt the back of the chair so it\u2019s very slightly reclined. Position your knees at 90 degrees, directly over your ankles; this will keep your spine comfortably upright.<\/p>\n

2 . Do not Slouch or Hunch<\/b><\/p>\n

Slouching and hunching over a computer are leading causes of crippling back pain. Keep your head straight. Focus on aligning your head and neck right above your shoulders; avoid straining forward.<\/p>\n

3 . Watch Your Feet<\/b><\/p>\n

Keep your feet planted on the floor and shoulder-width apart to minimize tension in your knees and ankles.<\/p>\n

4 . Do not Strain<\/b><\/p>\n

While using the laptop, you tend to lean forward to reach keys or see the screen. One way to solve the problem is to attach a separate monitor and keyboard.<\/p>\n

5 . Do not Cross Your legs<\/b><\/p>\n

Sitting cross-legged makes it difficult to keep your spine straight and shoulders squared, and you risk overstretching the muscles around the pelvis, upping your risk of varicose veins by interrupting blood flow.<\/p>\n

6 . Take Frequent Breaks<\/b><\/p>\n

Getting up at least once an hour to go to the bathroom or just do some shoulder rolls. It helps reduce pressure on spine and boosts circulation.<\/p>\n

7 . Stretch<\/b><\/p>\n

Stretch after every 1-2 hours. Try re-enacting your morning wake-up, stretching your arms out to the ceiling, then do a few lunges or stand still and rotate your body above the waist. Don\u2019t forget to include your neck and shoulders, rolling your head from shoulder to shoulder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
