Conscious and creative laptop posture

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

Do you do the fol­low­ing with your lap­top? The very –/–\– crooked red lines –/–\– tell a sad story and will guar­an­tee you end­less treat­ments and hefty bills from the chi­ro­prac­tor or osteopath in the future.

On the couch.

The ——- lovely straight great green lines ——- carry the mes­sage: PREVENTION BETTER THAN CURE! Pre­ven­tion is also bet­ter for your bank account.

It’s all about the right angles!! Remem­ber to try keep every­thing at right angles, or get as close to them as pos­si­ble and your pos­ture will always be good.

Use some books to raise your laptop.

Prop your­self up with some pil­lows for a straighter back.

Remem­ber to drop your eyes down instead of bend­ing your neck.

Or pur­chase a note­book stand or plat­form.

Use a tray on the books so you can use your mouse.

Blokes: It’s espe­cially impor­tant for you to not have you lap­tops directly on your laps.

At the table.

Put a pil­low behind you for a straighter back

A solu­tion from a Time Online arti­cle.

If you’re refer­ring to books, create your­self a book stand. Be cre­ative and think about what your body is doing.

We lead very seden­tary lives so remem­ber to move your body about every 40 min­utes. And of course, go for the occa­sional mas­sage so the ten­sion from repet­i­tive pos­ture pat­terns can be released.

Here are some more tip from the NHS.

Or pur­chase a note­book cooler or riser.
