Posture while at the computer... what many people do not know.


People who work in offices are spending more and more time at the computer, and more and more people are also using their computers at home for entertainment purposes. If you are using your computer for hours at at time, make sure that you are sitting at it correctly. Sitting at your computer in a sloppy way can lead to pain later on. First, remember that keeping everything at 90 degrees is key. your torso should be at a 90 degree angle from your thighs, and your thighs should be at a 90 degree angle from your shins. Your elbows should be bent at a 90 degree angle as your type, though your wrists should stay as level as possible. 

Remember that you should be sitting at a chair that supports your lower back. This is one area that can get very sore if you are not careful. If at all possible, sit up straight. Slouching puts more strain on your muscles over time. Simply correct yourself every time you notice that you are slouching. When you are worried about pain from sitting at a computer all day, consider good posture at your computer chair.
