POOR POSTURE AT OFFICE - Posture is the position in which the body is held upright against gravity while standing, sitting or lying down. Good posture involves training the body to stand, walk, sit and lie in positions where the least strain is placed on supporting muscles and ligaments during movement or weight-bearing activities. Back pain is one of the most common work-related injuries and is often caused by ordinary work activities such as sitting in an office chair or heavy lifting. Applying ergonomic principles - the study of the workplace as it relates to the worker - can help prevent work-related back pain and back injury and help maintain a healthy back. Generally, we slouch, bend and push our neck forward during working on computers to look more closely to the screen which in long term leads to strained neck and back or restricted movements of the spine.
