Those of us that are knowledge workers (not to be confused with being tethered to PCs and desks) may find this article interesting. If nothing else, it’s a good reminder of common sense practices:
- Don’t sit in ANY position for too long a period - If you plan to sit most of the day, do go out of your way to get a comfortable, properly supportive chair - Take frequent breaks to stretch and walk - Don’t over-extend your neck beyond your upper body when sitting (keep it centered over your body to prevent straining of your neck muscles; scalenes, SCM, etc.) - Ensure you have a safe, comfortable distance between your eyes and monitor See http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?i...C-RSSFeeds0312
