INCT 2018]
1. Flexibility and mobility are essential not only to reduce the risk of injuries but to generally feel
better. Living a nine to five desk life can be demanding on health and wellness. Here is how you
can keep the most common problems at bay.
2. Even if you are not exercising you need to make sure that you maintain correct posture and sit
your desk in the right way. It is important that your chair is placed correctly and your legs are
not left hanging. Proper alignment ensures that your neck and back are not strained. Exercises
and abdominal crunches two to three times a week can strengthen the core. It will help take the
pressure off your back and will make it easier to maintain good posture. Chairs with back that
support your upper back are preferable for those who work long hours in front of screens.
3. Constant typing, writing reports and answering e-mails can exert your wrists leading to long-term
damage. The frequency of your use and how you position your wrists at your keyboard can be
a reason. The tell tale signs of exertion would be a tingling sensation or numbness. One should
not ignore initial signs. Make sure that you rest your wrist at regular intervals. To relieve tension
quickly fold your hands in a NAMASTE in front of your chest with elbows moving out and lower
your hands till you feel a good stretch in your wrists. Also rotating your fists inside and outside
provides much relief to strained wrists.
4. Since those who work on desks spend a lot of time looking at computer screen, they are at a risk
of straining their eyes. This may also lead to dry eyes and fatigue. Poor eyesight is the result of
continued and improper exposure to screens. Keeping the computer screen at an optimal distance
helps a lot in minimising strain to eyes. The screen shouldn't be too close or too far. To ease
eye strain use good lighting and make it a point to look at a distance away from your screen
every twenty to thirty minutes.
