Proper neck posture, a simple matter of good body mechanics,
can offer you protection from neck pain. Here are suggestions from the American
Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and other experts that can help
prevent the misuse or overuse of your neck:
Don't sit in 1 place for a long time. If you're stuck at
your desk, place items around your office so that you are forced to get up or
stretch to retrieve them.
Maintain good posture for your neck. Adjust your desk chair
so your hips are slightly higher than your knees. Your head and neck will then
naturally assume the correct position. When traveling, place a small pillow or
rolled up towel between your neck and the headrest.
Don't sleep with too many pillows or with a pillow that's
too thick.
When talking on the phone, don't cradle the phone between
head and shoulder. If you're on the phone often, switch to a headset or
speakerphone.
If you are reading or typing from other materials, raise the
pages to eye level.
If you have corrected vision, keep your prescription current
so you don't have to crane your neck forward to see clearly.
These are fairly generic tips but if you use them on a daily basis you can prevent most of the neck complaints we see in our office on a daily basis!
