“Should I be sitting on a yoga ball?” We get this question frequently. The short answer is no. Sadly, it is very unlikely this will magically fix the pain you have a while working. While it can be helpful to change up seating surfaces throughout the day, our muscles can fatigue quickly without support and this can result in even more discomfort! So what SHOULD you do? 🌟MOVE MORE🌟 Getting up, ideally every 30-45 minutes, even for a short period can help your muscles (and your brain!) with some different neuromuscular input and increased blood flow. What are you waiting for??? Get moving 😁

When the dreaded “virtual learning” returns and your office has been hijacked by your offspring, you must improvise. Don’t forget about your posture in your DIY setup!!

How long have you been staring at that screen??? Too long I’m guessing. Get up! Move! Take a dance break. Walk around the block. C’mon….you know you want to. All that work will still be waiting when you get back.

Neck feeling the stress of a post holiday Monday? We’ve got you covered! These two simple neck stretches are great for those of us who *may* end up with our shoulders touching our ears after a little while at the computer ( you know who you are!!!). Start with one hand gently resting on top of head ( #1). Keeping your chin tucked back, let your ear bend towards your shoulder with your hand providing gentle overpressure ( #2). Hold for 30 seconds. Go back to your start position ( #1) and then let your head tilt down and to the side as if you’re looking towards your armpit ( #3). Hold for 30 seconds. Now, repeat on the other side and don’t forget to breathe!

Does this resemble you at your desk?? 😳 Sit back, drop those shoulders, and move away from the computer screen. This is common when we get stressed, or we are having trouble seeing our screens. There are easy fixes for both! Try zooming your screen a little to see if this helps, and if you haven’t been to the eye doc in awhile- there’s no time like the present! As for stress- is the mantra over here. Even a short one can help decrease anxiety and reset your brain and posture!

Neck feeling tight? Try this quick stretch to loosen that SUPER tight muscle on the top of your shoulder. Place your hand gently on the top of your head and let your head fall to the side. Be careful not to let your shoulder rise up, or your chin jut forward. Hold for 3-5 breaths, then repeat on the other side. Then- feel better!

I knew there was a reason I kept all of those textbooks from PT school. How’s your work setup looking? What tips and tricks are your favorites?

Thinking of posture shouldn’t stop when you leave your desk. Our ever more mobile lives have us all using tablets and phones for many hours each day. We even have new diagnoses popping up like “Tech Neck” and “Texting Thumb” 😳. Trying to maintain your healthy posture with your phone and tablet is a ✳️MUST✳️. Try propping your device up in front of you rather than holding it to decrease strain on your hands, arms, and shoulders. Bonus if you can make things closer to eye level- your spine should not be a “C”!

Don’t discount the value of small movement breaks throughout your day! Moving your body even a little is so helpful from preventing those aches and pains we feel when we are immobile for too long. Not to mention it’s a good way to wake yourself up when your body is crashing. Don’t forget to get the family involved- kids need to take breaks too!

Thinking about making a DIY standing work station? Great! But don’t forget that standing doesn’t magically make your aches and pains go away- you still have to do it right! 1) find items in your house to elevate the monitor to eye level and keyboard to roughly elbow height 2) NO LEANING! 3) Start with a reasonable ratio- try 15 minutes of standing for every 30 minutes of sitting and then see how it goes. Working well? Fantastic- you may want to make the arrangement more permanent with actual ergonomic equipment (more on that later!). Not working so well? Be a detective! Take a look and see if you can figure it out. Still not sure? Call in the pros (that would be US!)

Don’t have an external keyboard available? You can still improve your setup easily! A three ring binder can elevate your screen a little without forcing you to lose your nice arm positioning. Give it a try!
