Working at a computer or laptop screen for long periods can contribute to headaches because of increased stress, the impact of blue light omitted and poor posture at your work station. All of this can be exacerbated by old injuries affecting muscles along your spine, shoulders or neck.
Tip#1: Set a timer on your phone or device, and take a short break every 20-30 minutes. This will give you a chance to stand up, stretch, rest your eyes from the screen, correct your posture and move around the room.
Tip#2: Assess your sitting. Hold your shoulders back and your head level, parallel to the ground, instead of hunching forward. Make sure you are using a supportive chair that helps your muscles relax naturally, keep a computer screen at eye level (so your neck doesn’t become tight) and pull in your core/abdomen to keep you sitting upright. Sometimes a flat cushion at the base of your spine (half on the cushion) can work wonder to tilt the spine back to its natural position.
Tip#3: Book yourself in for a massage: Call us for a completely FREE, no obligation phone-call to see how we can help you. The benefits of massage are well documented, but it may assist you to discuss your specific problem and let us help you find a solution.
Tip#3: Always stay well hydrated: This is easily overlooked in the winter months, so be sure to have a supply of water at hand always, (with a slice of lemon in it for extra benefit!).
