If sitting in front of computer for
long is the cause of your cyber stress, take note of following.
1.
You should keep your computer in front of you (not by your side). It
minimizes the chances to twist your body or neck for looking at the
screen.
2. Make changes in the position of your monitor and get
your computer screen at the eye level or maybe a bit higher.
3.
You should never look down at the screen as it stresses your ligaments,
neck muscles and disc.
4. Make use of a chair which allows you to
sit straight and to bend your knees at 90' angle.
5. A computer
chair must have adjustable back, seat and armrests.
If you are
suffering from computer stress or other nonspecific pain, see your
chiropractor for check up, adjustment and a course of treatment to
restore balance to your body. Take a few minutes off every hour to
re-position the body by stretching, walking or simply taking deep
breaths to relieve the stress.
