Work

Sit with your back straight. If you use a computer, your forearms must be parallel to the floor or lower. Consider trading in your mouse for a touch pad or pen mouse. Take a look at the ergonomic keyboards. Beware of too-soft and too-high chairs which can cause nerve compression under your thighs. Take a break: Focus on a far away spot and imitate an airplane (put your arms straight out to the side and stretch them slightly backwards). Lack of respect for these principals can cause repetitive stress injuries or compressed nerves, such as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS).
