Tech Neck & Slumped Shoulders 

Our sedentary lives are to be blamed for our rounded shoulders and "tech neck". We're sat slumped on our desks for five days a week. It doesn't help that we are also glued to our phones, scrolling on social media platforms. People spend hours daily hunched over their mobile devices, which can result in stiffness on your neck and shoulders.

Our heads are pretty heavy, a whopping 5kg or 11lbs if you’re using the Imperial System. When you’re working on a computer or looking down at your phone, the muscles in the back of the neck have to contract to hold your noggin up. When we spend long periods of time holding the head at a 45-degree angle it places an incredible amount of stress on the area.

The phrase “tech neck” seems to concern the neck area only, but pain usually manifests in other areas such as pain on your upper back or reduced mobility in the neck and shoulder. Ignoring the early signs of discomfort will lead you to receiving a hefty bill from a chiropractor. Pay attention to your body, it will let you know when something isn’t quite right. The best way to prevent or alleviate these symptoms is to keep your devices at eye level. 

For Joints Sake, Get Moving 

The human body is adaptable and resilient. But sitting in the same position for more 30 minutes does more harm than you may think. By making sure that your muscles and joints are limber, you can reduce symptoms of wear and tear as you age. Less movement means more stiffness in your joints. So get up and get moving. 

 The disruption of working from of home can be hard for some. Work is piling on, a cacophony of emails stream in all day with Zoom conferences in between. It can be overwhelming and stressful for your body. This constant stimulus makes one feel that work is never-ending when working remotely. Set a reminder on your phone for every 30 minutes to an hour, so that you’ll remember to move. When you are physically active there is an increased delivery of oxygen to your brain. This helps to support your focus, concentration and memory.

Why Sit-stand Desks Are Your New Best Friend
