How do office workers protect their spines?
Office workers are prone to cervical or spine problems because they sit in front of the computer for a long time. So do you know how to protect the spine of office workers?
1. Pay attention to sitting posture
When it comes to protecting the spine, the most important thing is to have a correct sitting posture. A correct sitting posture can effectively protect the health of the spine, while also reducing the burden on the body. Office workers should pay attention to that the height of the seat should be coordinated with the height of the desk. You should keep your upper body upright when you are sitting and working. Choose a seat with a backrest. The back can naturally rest on the back of the chair, and the shoulders should be kept with the desktop. Level, eyes head up on the display, feet on the same level. Do not cross your legs, because crossing your legs will cause uneven pressure on your legs and feet. It will also cause excessive bending of the cervical spine and lumbar spine, and the pelvis will also be affected.
2. Timely activities
After 1 hour of continuous work, you can do cervical spine exercises, allowing the head and neck to rotate slowly and gently dozens of times to reach the maximum range of motion in all directions, so as to relieve the fatigue of the cervical spine joints. You can also move your waist to relieve fatigue. When looking at objects at close range for a long time, especially the office workers who are in the state of bowing their heads, it not only affects the cervical spine but also easily causes visual fatigue. Therefore, whenever you are at the desk for a long time, you should look up and look into the distance for about half a minute. This will not only eliminate fatigue but also benefit the health of the cervical spine.
3. Pay attention to cold
For office workers, usually stay in the office and stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time. The cold will easily invade the body. Therefore, office workers must not only pay attention to their dress and appearance but also pay attention to cold protection. Avoid the neck being attacked by wind and cold and cause cervical discomfort, and even cause the spine to be injured. In addition, wind-cold will cause the neck blood vessels to contract sharply, and the blood flow speed will suddenly decrease, which will affect the metabolism and blood circulation of the neck cell tissue. Therefore, office workers should pay attention to cold protection, even in summer.
