How to Maintain Good Posture While Using Technology

When using cellphones, laptops, or are simply sitting at a computer we often end up with some pretty crazy postures.

Most commonly you’ll see:

  • Heads bent over phone for long periods of time.
  • Slumped body posture on computer.
  • Using hands to support our heads when were tired.

So what we end up with eventually are:

  • Headaches
  • Neck pain
  • Shoulder and arm pain
  • Numbness and tingling into the hands and arms
  • Low back pain

Symptoms come from the neck being forward bent for long times:

  • It increases the internal neck pressure by 3 times normal!!
  • Compresses the muscles and joints at the base of the skull.
  • Can compress the nerves and blood vessels to the arms.
  • Overstretches the nerve and connective tissues.

On this month’s WCSH Morning Show segment Back in Motion’s Mary Kroth-Brunet gives helpful tips on how to keep good posture while using these pieces of technology.
