1. Tensely pain at neck and shoulders

All office youngsters working in front of computer screen for a long time usually have pain and tension at neck and shoulders.

10 Behaviors to be Improved to Prevent Office Syndrome

Cross-legged sitting: Body weight will rely on only one side of body. When it is persistent for too long, it may cause scoliosis.
Cross-armed sitting: It may stretch upper back, shoulder blades and shoulder tips so the upper back will be humpbacked and bended forward. Neck bone will also stretch forward, affecting nerves to arms. This probably results in hand fatigue and numbness.
Humpbacked sitting: Sitting in front of computer screen for hours, for example, will cause tense muscle and lactic acid congestion, resulting in fatigue, pain, and later causing malunion.
Partially sitting on a chair: This may cause overloading capacity of back muscle due to the imbalance of a base supporting the body weight.
Standing by weighting on one leg: Correct standing is to balance weight on both legs. Distance between legs must be wider than the width of hip. This will make a balance of body structure.
Lean-back/humpbacked standing: It is recommended to stand with straight back and pull the belly a little to keep the straight line of lower bone, which can help prevent backache.
Do not wear high-heel shoes higher than 1.5 inches: Wearing high-heel shoes higher than that height will cause over-leaning lower back, which can result in backache.
Carrying a heavy bag on only one shoulder: Do not carry a heavy bag on only one side of shoulder for too long. It is best to carry the bag by equally using both sides of your body. Do not use only one side all the time as it will make that side overloading, which may result in scoliosis.
Regularly carrying heavy objects with fingers: This may create membranes between finger joints, resulting in trigger's finger.
Curling or sloping lying: Face-up sleeping is the most proper lying position. Head must be placed in flat. A pillow must be neither too hard nor too soft. There should be a pillow to support knees to reduce the extension of lower backbone. If it is necessary to sleep on one's side, there must be a bolster to put both legs on in order to maintain the straight line of bone.
