HOW TO AVOID THE BACK PAIN AFTER WORKING HOURS AGAINST THE COMPUTER

 If you are one of those people who spend hours in front of the computer for long periods of time, this post will help you to take care of your posture, and thus avoid cervical and back pain.

   And it turns out that staying for a long time in one position only affects the musculature. This is because not being in motion the oxygen does not reach the blood correctly, causing it not to have enough energy for the muscles to perform their functions.

Therefore, we must consider several points at the time of sitting to avoid pain, always respecting the natural curves of the body:

- Position of the pelvis, since this one has the tendency to be rolled forward, implying that it suffers a greater effort on the part of the erector muscles of the sword, generating compensations in the neck.

- The surface on which we sit. Depending on the surface on which we sit, we choose one position or another, but still try to keep your back straight by avoiding the curve forward of the spine, which will cause future discomfort and pain.

- The position of the neck is one of the most important points, since it is a point where a large part of the muscular tension is loaded. Therefore, we should try to rectify its position and compensate the rest of the column.

- The shoulder position, as in the neck, is a point where the tension accumulates, so we must also look at its correct position.

Other factors that we must consider:

- The position of the computer must be located at a good height that allows us to work without having to lean too much.

- Height of the work table, the forearms must be able to rest on the armrests and the elbows are at a right angle, thus avoiding excessive tension in the upper back area.

- Get up and pause every hour for a couple of minutes to eliminate muscle rigidity and favour the oxygenation of tissues, in addition to when we return to sit, we are more aware of our body posture.

- Perform small stretches, which like the previous point will help us avoid muscle stiffness. Among them perform small circular movements of the shoulders or perform dynamic back turns to one side and the other for example.

In addition to all these points to consider, from Global Relax we seek to provide the muscle relax that our body needs after long hours of work. Hence, we have a wide variety of massagers that adapt to our body and that can also be used throughout those long days of work.
