In terms of relieving the back pain there’s a little trick.

When you hurting minutes can feel like hour

- always be square to your work be square to what you working on dont turn and hold that position 20 minutes passed and your body will start getting angry at you. twisting and leaning is great you dont want to be like this all day(phto of leaning) you wanna be square to what you working on ideally.
- telephone. use headset i still see people like this all the time(phot of phoning incorrectly) you can get a headset for like 10 buck. at the very least get a headset use headset if you’re on the telephone
- computer. if you’re working on a computer monitors obviouslt two monitors is better than one you can be more productive with two monitors but even if you’re using only one monitors you wanna position the monitor so its at the right height. monitor height is really important if your monitor does not adjust as mind do not adjust in hight but a stack of books underneath or some type of monitor stand to lift it up also the distance of your monitor is also important you can see my monitors are pretty far away you don’t want your screen to be up in your face like this(monitor too close PHOTO) that’s bad for your eyes so how far your monitor is from your face is another factor that often times people don’t think about too cought up on what they doing in. the tilt of your monitor you know if you’re a chair adeally you wanna have a djustable chair but if your chair is not adjustable you know play with th etitle of your screen to get it to whaere is just right for you and you think about your head position. you shouldnt be looking down for instance if i was working at a lapotop i would be looking down is goin to pull up a lot of strain on the neck and the opposit is also true if i had this chair adjusted too low and the monitor is up high I’m now looking up and i0ve got tightness on in th back of the neck so the angle of your screen is also important so that lead us to the more adjustable the chair is the better.
- keyboard. very important. if you’re working on a sesktop at a computer like this you wanna the keyboard position so your arms are fairlu leveled so that’s gona have to do with the height of your desk and the height of your chair you should now again like this(phot with lower arm upper desk) with the arm up that’s gonna pur strain on wrist you know people have curpel tunnel well that’s part of the reason. muscle imbalance created by improper position of poor position so adjust your chair high so your arms relatively leveled
- mouse. mouse cause a lot of pain i know your right sholder always irritate from spending alot of time on the mouse. what yu dont wanna do is to have the mouse all the way forward (mouse forward picture) you wnan mocve it back ideally so your arm is just as your other arm will be as far back as you can keep it to keep that elbow and shoulder back and that hand back
- monitors. when you look at monitors but one thing in general for more that 20/30 minute you wanna take a break ideally most people30/60min and you need a phisical and mental break so get up stretch go to the bathrooom get some water and so on but who relaly need to take abreak are your eyes from looking at the computer screen. eye esrcise woulg be eyes position focus . change it when your eses are getting tired from llokin a what s close go look a t something far far wasy and then look abck at the screeen then look at a medium distane and close again.
