These simple movements or daily routines can end up hurting you if you're not careful. Make sure to do these simple activities the right way as outlined below:
Posture. Posture. Posture. Make sure that you keep your chin up and don't slouch. If you know that you will be standing for an extended period, make sure you wear comfortable shoes.
Make sure that you are getting up every 20 minutes to stretch. The type of chair you have is essential. It should fit you correctly so that your back touches the chair and your feet are on the floor with knees at a 90-degree angle. Try to avoid looking down at your computer screen. It should be at eye level.
Make sure you have a supportive chair. When you are forced to sit for an extended time, such as at a desk job, get up and stretch every 20 minutes. Sit with your back against the chair, feet firmly on the floor. Do not cross your legs.
Lifting objects is one of the most common ways to injure yourself. Even if it is a light object, twisting or pulling in the wrong direction when you're not stretched out can damage muscles and the spine. You always want to bend at the knees and avoid lifting anything you know is too heavy.
If you know that you will be working or playing for a while, make sure that you are adequately stretched out and warmed up. Even if it's something light, like gardening or just pushing your child on a bike, it's easy to pull something if you're not warmed up.
If you're forced to use the telephone for a long time, a speaker or a headset is a must. Try to avoid cradling the phone between your neck and shoulder, as this could cause you to damage the muscles or vertebrae in that area.
Straining your neck or back while you're sleeping is a widespread occurrence. We often fall asleep in positions that are not supported properly, or our necks are at an odd angle. Make sure that you are in a supportive position if you are going to nap or watch tv in bed.
