- Study/ Work Postures -
I had a year 12 client in yesterday and she was explaining that her workload had increased quite a bit and she was spending more time on her laptop. She felt her neck pain and headaches might have been linked to this.
Itโ€™s very common for me to see people who work on laptops in practice, and I try to advise that a laptop stand and wireless keyboard/mouse can make it much more comfortable to work with. As you can see from the pictures here, without a good setup we can get ourselves into postures that put more strain on the joints and muscles of the neck and back.
Where possible try to:
Arrange your desk so you are looking straight at your monitor at eye level.
Keep mouse and keyboard close to the body.
Elbows hips and knees at slightly more than 90 degrees.
Your spine should feel neutral and not strained.

As kids donโ€™t tend to listen to advice, I give an option of lying on your tummy when using the laptop as this tends to be a more active extensor position & keeps the normal curve in neck rather than having it flexed forward, but ideally we should be aiming for good ergonomics.
If your desk setup is giving you a headache or sore neck/back, get in touch ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Super grateful for old mate splitty at working hard to keep us cool today! ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅถ
Stay safe out there today! Try to stay out of the heat, consider pets and native wildlife, leave some water out, keep hydrated. If youโ€™re in a fire zone, donโ€™t muck around, nothing is so important that you risk your safety or that of others.
Fingers crossed for those down the Otways. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป
