4 TOP TIPS

FOR GOOD POSTURE WHEN USING A LAPTOP

straight

Being hunched over a laptop for long periods of time will result in back, neck and shoulder problems. Here are some ways to keep them at bay:

1. Use a separate keyboard, so your laptop can be raised or put on a stand so that the screen is at eye level.

2. Always make sure your arms are on a stable base too, not just your laptop, to avoid any wrist and forearm strain.

3. Stand up and move around every 20 minutes or so, or at the very least look away from the screen and rest your eyes.

4. Make sure the chair you’re sitting on is ergonomic and gives you proper back support.
