If the chair doesn't offer lower back support, keep a rolled up towel or cushion to support the back. 2. Correctly position the chair, keyboard, and monitor. Feet should be on the floor, with knees at hip level; forearms should form a right angle with upper arms; and the computer terminal should be at eye level. 3. Adopt a relaxed, upright working posture and allow the chair to support. 4. Avoid slouching forward or leaning back too far. 5. When you are at work stand up, walk around, stretch forward, backward, and side to side once in 30 minutes. 6. Increased stress and strain enhances the chances of back pain. Hence remember to relax! Yoga and meditation are best techniques to relax 7. Eat healthy food which is rich in fiber. Avoid sweets, oil, soft drinks and overeating to reduce the chances of weight gain. 8. Sex should be avoided during acute stage of back pain as it exaggerates the condition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
