Practicing Proper Posture:
Tips on Reducing the Aches and Pains These days, as our kitchen counters double as classroom desks and spare bedrooms become makeshift offices, the importance of setting ourselves up for success is paramount. But let’s be real here: Kids are zooming from under the covers, and that comfy couch is a tempting reprieve from the dining room chair. After only a few weeks of sitting in the wrong position, you can start feeling aches in your back and neck. The aches are warning you about potential long-term problems. Good posture means that the key parts of your neck and spine are correctly aligned and supported by the right amount of muscle tension. Here are 4 ways you can maintain good posture to keep your back and neck feeling happy and healthy.
Check Your Chair A quality chair is key. Get one that’s easily adjustable so you can change the height, back position and tilt. Reduce your risk of back pain by adjusting the chair so your lower back is properly supported. Your knees should be the same height or slightly lower than your hips, and your feet should be flat on the floor. Adjust your chair height so you can use your keyboard with your wrists and forearms straight and level with the floor.
