The hustle and bustle of our daily life can be hectic and sometimes our health can take a backseat to our list of to-dos, appointments, and work. However, correcting certain habits throughout your day can make you feel a lot better, all without taking any extra time! Dr. Christopher Brill of Therapeutic Solutions, LLC of Newport News, VA has some tips he recommends for overall wellness.
If you spend your days working at a desk, sitting in the right position is very important. Make sure your chair is a good fit for your back, providing support in the right places. Your feet should touch the floor at a ninety degree angle. Your computer screen should be positioned so that you look up at it, not down.
Posture is important whether you are sitting or standing. Standing or sitting up straight, keeping your chin up, and wearing proper shoes will help facilitate good posture. While sitting, it is recommended to have your feet flat on the floor, without crossing your legs. For a job where you are sitting for long periods of time, it is recommended that you stand or stretch for a minute or two every half hour.
While lifting heavy objects, good posture is especially important. Improper lifting could lead to an injury. Keeping your spine in line and bending at the knees will help avoid injury. Twisting your body while lifting even light objects is not recommended.
