Are there any elements that are putting stress or strain on your body? Keep the mouse and telephone within easy reach so you don\u2019t have to stretch to reach them. Adjust your computer screen so that your neck is in a neutral position and be mindful of your posture while sitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is easy to forget to take a break when we are busy at work. So, set an alarm on your phone to remind you or use the reminders on the Straighten Up app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Taking these habits home with you will help put them into practice in everyday life and will also ensure that good posture and spinal care is integrated into every aspect of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information on maintaining a healthy spine in the work place, check with chiropractor Dr Shaun from Cranbourne Chiropractic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00b9Safe Work Australia 2017, Sitting and Standing, www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au\/sedentary, Web.
