While many of us continue to work from home it is important to practice good sitting posture. Unfortunately working from home can create its own set of challenges for us and one of them being a setting that allows us to practice good sitting posture. The home office set up can sometimes result in discomfort in the neck, shoulders, wrists and low back. When it comes to creating a work space for proper posture its first important to use a chair that is supportive. It should fit you correctly so that your back touches the chair with feet firmly on the floor and knees positioned at a 90 degree angle. When looking at your computer screen try avoiding looking down and instead keep it elevated at eye level. Lastly please do not forget to get up, move around and stretch periodically every 20 minutes.

While we are all at home it’s important to remember to still take care of our own health and fitness. Take a look at our therapeutic exercise page which can help provide exercises to improve your muscular strength, balance, and overall range of motion. Our goal has always been to educate and empower our patients. We strive to help relieve your pain, become more mobile and continue to effectively perform everyday activities. https://www.newtownpachiropractor.com/therapeutic-exercise
