how to have perfect posture @computer?

Answer 1

It helps if you have a chair with a back on it. Then you can sit all the way back in your seat and sit up straight, making sure that your back in straight against the backing of the chair.

However, I wouldn't sit at a computer too long anyway. Sitting in the same position for too long can cause pain unless you are very comfortable (which I know I'm not unless I'm laying in bed).

Answer 2

If your lower back is not supported it is assumed that you will have problems

Your arms NEED to rest on something if this is for quite a while.

An alternative is to have your feet propped up while you lean back a little (if it does not hurt)


Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.

Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.

The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).

For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

Answer 3

Go see a physical therapist in your area. They can examine you and perform a postural assessment. The key to good posture is balance. You have to have good mobility, strength, motion, and awareness to achieve good posture. A physical therapist can address all of these areas.
