Workplace Relief!
Ergonomics
One third of each weekday is spent at work. Usually, in the same position, doing repetitive tasks. This is hard on your body and often the cause of many aches and pains; or worse, the cause of eventual chronic conditions.
Sitting
When we sit for hours at a desk, before a computer or at a workstation; our bodies often freeze, our muscles tense into the same position. This can lead to fatigue and improper posture. If you groan on standing, you understand! Try to stand and stretch at least once every 45 - 60 minutes. Take a short walk and drink plenty of water!
Dehydration
The air in our work environment is often dry; coffee and soda contributes to dehydration due to their diuretic properties. While it may seem strange, dehydration often leads to bloating! We force our body to store fluids in our tissues! Try to drink a large glass of water each morning and afternoon to replenish your body.
On the Ball
Many computer users have discovered the positive effects reaped by sitting on an exercise ball rather than a office chair! Sitting on a ball forces your back into a straight position -no slouching! Also, the round shape forces the body to constantly shift and adjust, this provides a constant mini-workout!
We have testimonials from customers supporting these benefits. Many claim it has ended chronic back pain, reduced sore neck discomfort and helped improve sleep!
Neck & Shoulder Relief
So many factors contribute to sore neck and shoulders at work: stress, sitting in a static position and long hours at your desk. This simple routine can be done easliy at your desk and will provide excellent relief!
Lower Back Support
There are many products available to reduce the stress on your lower back. The effect is immediate when you attach a back support pillow to your chair, especially effective in the car for long drives and commutes!
Hands and Wrists
Whether you work with your hands typing, at a computer, crafting or manufacturing -repetitive motions can lead to chronic pain. Your wrists benefit from the support and strength provided from the muscles in your arms and hands. Simple movements can optimize the benefits.
Hold a light hand weight with palm facing down, now simply move hand down and up. This will strengthen your forearm muscles. Also, excellent for tennis players!
Hand exercisers provide a simple and easy exercise and stress reliever at your desk! Simply squeeze these balls several times a day. This also provides a welcome break from repetive movements!
