Currently many of us are doing a lot more work from home than normal. Although it may be more of a relaxed environment, and potentially means working in your trackies, you should still be thinking about the workplace environment your in.
Desk-based jobs can often lead to complaints of neck and shoulder pain, lower back pain and wrist pain.
To assist in reducing this there are some key things you can be doing; 💻 Desk set-up
Simple and easy modifications to your desk set-up will help you maintain a better posture and keep you more comfortable
✅ Pick a comfortable chair, your feet should be able to rest flat on the floor whilst maintaining a comfortable sitting position.
✅ Pick a desk/table that is the appropriate height and comfortable to reach your devices/documents
✅ Place your laptop or computer on the desk so that the top of the screen is eye level. If you are using a laptop and need to raise the height, try placing in on some books, or purchase a laptop stand.
✅ If you have raised your laptop, you may need to use a wireless mouse/keyboard so you don’t have to stretch to reach them. When using a keyboard your elbows should be close to your sides and forearms parallel to the desk, with wrists in a neutral position
Posture and movement 🏃‍♂️🤸🏽‍♀️Posture and movement
Yes, it is important to remember “good posture” which includes sitting up tall, preventing your head from poking forwards, keeping your shoulders from slouching forwards, however changing your posture regularly can help prevent you from becoming tight and sore. It is ok to slouch occasionally or shift your weight from one side to the other as this will help alleviate tightness that may have built up.
The reason for this is our bodies do not like to stay in the same position for too long, movement is medicine!
The best thing you can do to prevent any aches or pains during the day is get up and move as often as possible. At the very least a quick 60 second walk around the house or some simple stretches every 20-30 minutes will help. Scheduling a longer time for some exercise (30 minutes, for example) each day is also highly recommended.

BENIGN POSITIONAL VERTIGO

“Vertigo, dizziness, feeling off balance and thick head” are some of the terms people use to describe a condition known as Benign Positional Vertigo or BPPV.
BPPV may start suddenly, often getting out of bed at night and is terrifying , as the head spins and often people vomit with it. Frequently they end up in Emergency which is important to rule out other sudden causes of dizziness. However most often they have the condition of benign vertigo which is caused by tiny crystals in the inner ear which become loose and move into one of the ear canals causing dizziness with certain head movements.

Trained physiotherapists can test for this condition and determine which ear is involved. Once established they can perform an Epley’s manoeuvre to move the crystals out of the affected area, and most often the dizziness will disappear with 1 or 2 treatments.
After treatment advice is given and people can return to their normal lives.
It is always important to see your GP or Ear Nose and Throat surgeon initially if this is your first episode of vertigo.
Call Penny at Mani Physiotherapy to find out more about it. More than 30 years experience treating neck related headaches and vertigo.
