5 Rules for Correct Posture
Maintaining correct posture is essential for preventing back and neck pain. Keep your shoulders back, chin tucked, and core engaged. When sitting, ensure your feet are flat on the floor and your screen is at eye level.
Home Remedies for Back Pain
For mild back pain, try hot/cold therapy, gentle stretches, and maintaining activity. Ice for the first 48 hours, then switch to heat. Cat-cow stretches and child's pose can provide relief. Avoid prolonged bed rest.
Exercises to Strengthen Knees
Strengthen your knees with wall sits, straight leg raises, hamstring curls, and step-ups. Start with 10 reps, gradually increase. Always warm up first. Avoid deep squats if you have existing knee issues.
Neck Pain from Phone Use
Text neck is caused by looking down at your phone for extended periods. Hold your phone at eye level, take breaks every 20 minutes, and do chin tucks and neck rotations to relieve tension.
When to Visit a Physiotherapist
See a physiotherapist if pain lasts more than 2 weeks, daily activities become difficult, you have numbness or tingling, or post-surgery rehabilitation is needed. Early intervention leads to faster recovery.
Shoulder Stretches for Desk Workers
Relieve shoulder tension with doorway stretches, cross-body arm pulls, and shoulder blade squeezes. Do these every 2 hours during desk work. Maintain an ergonomic desk setup to prevent recurring issues.
