Posture at work and back pain

Miscellaneous back pain, whether at the cervical level, between the shoulder blades or on the lumbar, originate from a poor positioning of the workstation. Correct sitting posture consists of positioning your body correctly in relation to your chair, desk and screen, which will prevent the appearance of pain.

• It is necessary that the spine stay RIGHT. To do this, if you use a computer, make sure that the screen is placed in front of your eyes, so that you can view it without having to lower your neck, otherwise tension may appear in the trapezius muscles in particular. .
• THE elbows must make a right angle, so that the shoulders are as relaxed as possible when using the keyboard.
• Finally, you will need to adjust the height of the chair so that the feet are flat on the ground and that the hips and knees form a right angle.

Of the regular stretching allow the muscles to remain long, thin and supple, which means that the effort will not exert too much force on the muscle itself. Healthy muscles will also help a person with balance problems avoid falls.

Stretching also has its importance onmental aspect. They can help reduce stress and anxiety, increasing muscle relaxation and promoting a feeling of general well-being. Stretching can also improve concentration and mental recovery, allowing muscles and joints to relax after intense physical or mental activity.

Summary

1. Straight back
2. Hip angle 90° to 120°
3. Knee angle 90° to 130°
4. Ankle angle 100° to 120

Think about positioning well

1. The screen
2. The keyboard and mouse

Of course, in order to relax your muscles, I advise you to get into the habit of taking regular breaks to give your body time to recover and your mind too.

You can take the opportunity to drink a glass of water and stretch your legs, for example. If you think that tensions have already set in, I invite you to come see me for a Chinese massage Tuina or one sports massage in order to untie the knots. We will take the opportunity to see together the adapted stretches which will help you relax.

In the meantime, you can contact me if you have any questions. I will be happy to answer you as quickly as possible.

Take care of yourself 🙏🏼
