Neck, shoulder, and back pain is one of the most important types of complaints that afflict many people, especially with office work that requires sitting for long hours at a desk and chair, and looking for a long time at computer screens, mobile screens, iPads, and other electronic devices.
Dr. Wagih Emil, orthopedic consultant in Kasr Al-Aini, explained that Sitting Long hours while working at the office help to increase neck and muscle pain, and the severity of the pain varies from one person to another and according to the working hours that he adheres to. There are some tips that must be followed to prevent common neck pain, as well as back and shoulder pain.
Tips to prevent neck and back pain
Take care to sit in a moderate, upright position, as sitting upright is what protects you from most bone and muscle problems.
After an hour of sitting in the chair, spend 10 minutes walking, running, or exercising, then continue sitting once more and repeat every hour.
Make sure to walk during the day to get rid of muscle stiffness and pain in the neck, shoulders and back.
Exercise during the remaining hours of the day to maintain muscle flexibility.
Do not sit reclined or bent over in front of the computer screen. This position harms the muscles of the neck and body in general, as well as the back and spine.
Pay attention to neck, back, and shoulder exercises. They are simple and multiple exercises. Choose the simplest one and practice it.
Pay attention to movement for the rest of the day, eat healthy food, do not drink sugary drinks, and follow a healthy diet.
