What kind of trouble can bad posture bring? Isn’t it cervical spondylosis and mouse hand? What else can we do? You underestimate the eight hours at your desk! The wrong sitting posture will also make you fall into six abysses, such as sagging chest, migraine, elephant leg, etc. Can’t you sit still? Learn the correct sitting posture right away.
I. chest sagging
Lean forward + hunchback, the whole person nests in front of the computer
The body staring at the computer always unconsciously leans forward, and the chest will be tightly pressed against the table edge, gradually squeezed to both sides, causing deformation and sagging. Desk work is most likely to lead to hunchback and shoulder flexion. This sitting posture will make the chest loose and weak. Without strength support, the breast can’t resist gravity of course!

Keep in mind the principle of “one punch off the chest from the table”. If you always forget, you may as well take a long necklace with exaggerated shape, or cut half of a tennis ball to get stuck at the table facing the chest, which can serve as a good reminder. You can also try to use the mouse with the other hand every two weeks (the left and right buttons of the mouse can be set in the opposite direction), which can also effectively prevent the body from tilting to one side.
II. Migraine
Leaning on the table with chin and squinting at the screen
Leaning on the desk staring at the screen? Put the receiver between your shoulder and your head to answer the phone? These postures will make the muscles near the cervical spine excessively tense, reducing the blood supply to the cerebral cortex. In addition, a computer screen that is too high or too low will make you shrug your shoulders and hunchback unconsciously, which will deform your cervical spine and easily lead to migraine.

First check the placement of your computer. The middle part of the monitor should just face your chin; If you can, you’d better answer the phone with a loudspeaker or headphones, and resolutely avoid the wrong sitting posture when you answer the phone with the receiver clamped. A girl who needs to type constantly every day can post a small reminder on the conspicuous position on the edge of the keyboard, such as: “don’t shrug your shoulders!” “Cross head typing, no!”.
III. mouse hand
The desktop is too high. Shrug your shoulders and use your arms to operate the keyboard and mouse
Women’s wrists are thinner, and the nerve in the middle of the wrist is under greater pressure, so the attack rate of the mouse hand is more than three times that of men! The posture of pressing the palm low and supporting the wrist on the table will make all the weight press on the nerves, muscles and blood vessels of the wrist, and the dorsal flexion of the wrist joint is almost close to the maximum. If this situation exists for a long time, the blood circulation of the hand will be affected, and the mouse hand will naturally come to the door!

The higher the position of the keyboard and mouse, the greater the dorsiflexion of the wrist joint. We can put them in a slightly lower position according to our own situation. When the arm naturally droops, the height of the elbow joint is the height of the keyboard and mouse; At the same time, move your wrists every half an hour, clench your fists, and do finger exercises.
