ASK DR. MIKE
What can I do at my computer desk to decrease neck and shoulder tension?
Watch your posture, for good posture is critical for computer users. For maximum comfort and to prevent neck and back strain,
the spine and head should be upright. The top of the video screen should be at eye level. To prevent slouching, the user should sit
well back into the chair. A small cushion placed against the lower back will offer support. A foot rest that keeps the hips and
knees at the same height helps improve posture and reduce stress on the legs and back. Shoulder muscles will become tired if
the hands and wrists are held too high or at an awkward angle. The upper arms should be comfortable at the side of the body with
the forearms at a right angle to the upper arm and the wrists in line with the forearms.
Seating and desk tops that adjust in height are essential to optimize posture. Chairs that curve down in front prevent loss of
circulation to the legs. Drink plenty of water, look away to rest the eyes every 15 min., and stretch as often as possible.
