Stretching your neck and working your wrists at a computer for hours at a time can strain much of the body.
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons offers these suggestions to help reduce computer pain and discomfort:
Health Tips
* Sit up straight, with your ears lined up with the top of your shoulders, and your shoulders lined up with the hips.
* Relax your upper arms, and hold them close to your body. Keep your hands and wrists straight in front of your arms.
* Keep your hands and fingers relaxed when typing or clicking on the mouse.
* Take regular breaks and relax your hands and fingers.
* Give your eyes a rest and look away from the computer every so often. Also, try to position your screen to reflect the least glare.
* Place your computer monitor about an arm’s length in front of you, and right at eye level so you don’t have to look up or down to view the monitor.
