hunching your back and pushing your head forward is a sure way to increase pain in your neck and shoulder. This increases the chance of headaches, muscle strain and possibly shoulder injury. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529cd637e4b080ab7c02db15/1404320104835-SZPPW68J0V4R38QUPSLY/Good+Desk+Posture.jpg Neck Mobilization and Stability Program DO: Try to sit at the edge of your chair (on your sit bones), with feet in line with your knees and heels firmly planted on the floor. Pull your shoulders back and down and keep your elbow as close as you can to the side of your body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529cd637e4b080ab7c02db15/1404320171095-92MCN9IC7XO14HIV772D/Poor+Desk+Posture+with+a+Phone.jpg Neck Mobilization and Stability Program DON'T: When using a phone at your desk, try not to work with the phone at your shoulders. This will irritate your cervical spine joints, shorten your neck muscles and irritate your jaw. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529cd637e4b080ab7c02db15/1404320237792-6DC43SZZ6PSIE6WXVKXY/image-asset.jpeg Neck Mobilization and Stability Program DO: When working at your desk, use a hands free head set if talking on the phone for any longer than a few minutes. There are a lot of products that attache onto various phone devices. If you need a recommendation, contact me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529cd637e4b080ab7c02db15/1404320293509-WB5T48U70E9UVMP8JHZM/image-asset.jpeg Neck Mobilization and Stability Program DON'T: Using your mobile phone while at your desk often makes you round your shoulders, tighten your neck muscles, strain your eyes and is just BAD! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529cd637e4b080ab7c02db15/1404320470029-MYRBSLHY6SWHH0Y0JKTJ/Good+Posture+using+a+phone+at+your+desk.jpg Neck Mobilization and Stability Program DO: If you have to use your phone (or mini computer as some of the devices are set up as), sit at the edge of your chair as above and bring the phone up to about chin height. This will help alleviate excessive strain on your body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529cd637e4b080ab7c02db15/1405043505407-EFKPUVO6HZ6XNOC9Q9H4/Poor+Posture+using+a+phone+while+standing.jpg Neck Mobilization and Stability Program DON'T: Using your mobile phone while standing, the same applies as when at your desk. It will place strain on your neck, shoulder, lower back, abdomen and eyes.
