The Effect of Bad Posture at Work

If you have an office job, play computer games, or sit around on the computer, It is more than likely that you are not sitting in good posture. It is the nature of the beast, constantly firing those deep postural muscles have become so de-conditioned that sitting in a good position is a challenge and feels more like a workout than a pain free way to spend your work day.

your posture may be, but not limited to, slouching, forward head, rounded shoulders, feet not firmly on the ground (this makes a difference), elbows at an angle of more/less than 90 degrees, and wrists cocked back while typing.

All of these posture mishaps can be fixed with a few nominal exercises and self awareness. Ideal Posture is back straight, feet planted on the floor, seated halfway on to the seat, arms at a comfortable, level height, computer monitor at eye level, and wrists are relaxed and straight while typing.

A few exercises to do while you are at the desk are:
Scapular Pinches 3x10
Doorway Pec Stretch 5x20 seconds/side
Glute Bride 3x12
Upper Trap Stretch 3x15 second hold
For people who type alot
Median Nerve Glide 3x20 seconds/side

If you guys cannot find these on the internet and are interested in a more personalized program, send me a message/leave a comment below and I will be more than happy to help you out!
