Desk job posture tips: Those who do desk jobs have to go through a kind of trouble daily, that is the problem caused by sitting in one place continuously. The desk jobs have to sit in one place continuously. By sitting in the same posture, not stretching and following this routine daily, your posture goes on deteriorating.
Due to sitting in front of the computer every day, not only fatigue but also problems like neck and back pain also start. Doctors of AIIMS believe that if people do desk jobs pay attention to the right body posture, then these problems can be avoided. This responsibility should not only focus on this responsibility but also the office should prepare such setups for the employees, instead of sitting continuously, providing a space to do comfortable work for some time.
Spine and comfortable
Professor Dr. Bhagya Garg of AIIMS Orthopedic Department It is said that it is most important for the people who do the desk job to keep their spine straight. While sitting, sit on the back with the backrest of the chair. Often people sit down. Start changing this habit. Sitting bending starts increasing pressure on the spinal cord, which can cause problems like spondylitis. Keep in mind, always make a habit of keeping the back straight.
Height of monitor and chair
Experts say that the screen of the computer should always be at the eyes level. If the screen is very low or up, the neck may be affected by pain and tightness due to repeatedly covering or getting up. The height of the chair was equally stopped in which the legs are directly from the ground and the knee is at a 90 degree angle. If the feet are not standing from the ground while sitting, then there can be a problem of footrest.
Hand and keyboard position
People who work with the mouse have also seen the problem of wrist pain. Keep the keyboard and the mouse near the body. Keep the hands in such a way that the elbow is twisted at about 90 degrees and the wrist is straight. Karpal tunnel syndrome may also be caused by staying down above the wrist or being continuously folded.
Break every 30 to 40 minutes
Doctors also recommend that it is very harmful for the body to work for 6 to 7 hours continuously. While working, every 30 to 40 minutes should get up and walk for some time. Do small stretching, shake hands and feet and walk lightly. By doing this, blood circulation remains in the body.
Eye care is also important
The eyes do not sit on the screen continuously. Follow the 20-20-20 rule. This means see 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes. This will give relief to the eyes. Continuous viewing screen can cause dryness and headache in the eyes.
Adopting the right posture for desk jobs is not just rest but also a way of staying healthy. Habits like straight spine, correct screen position, comfortable position of hands and feet and regular brakes can protect against major diseases.
