Computer Related Injury Prevention
According to numerous sources and research, the best prevention technique is to simply take frequent breaks . Since there's no time for long workouts on the job, look for hidden exercise opportunities. Take a brisk 10 minute walk during lunch, do some deep breathing or just stand up by your desk and do some simple stretches. These short spurts of exercise taken throughout the day will help with weight loss and lowered heart rates.
And of course, remember to use the stairs instead of the elevator if possible. During your rest periods, it is extremely important to relax your hands. Let them go limp, shake them out, massage them, anything but bending, twisting or straining your wrists or fingers. To help maintain healthy eyesight, look as far into the distance as possible for 15 seconds, many times a day.
You will produce more if you break at least once every 45 minutes. Although, ideally, the 20/20
approach is best. This means that every 20 minutes, you would get up and stretch, and/or move around for 20 seconds. An old-fashioned oven timer works well for this. Or you can set your digital watch or clock to go off at regular intervals. Also, there are some programs containing timer alarms that will interrupt your work to let you know it's time to rest and stretch.
Remember to breathe deeply in a natural manner. Be sure that there is adequate ventilation in your workplace so you can.

Your chair will be your most important piece of office equipment. So, make your purchase carefully. Shop around and ask a lot of questions. Be sure easy to adjust the thing! See that it has all the features you need. It should have an adjustable seat pan.
Adjust it so that it angles slightly down. This will keep pressure off of the lower back. For people working with keyboards for extended time periods, it's best to angle the seat down in front. Arm rests should be adjustable and removable. The chair should swivel and move. It is important that it has lumbar (lower back) support. The seat height and the backrest need to be adjustable. These should also be laterally adjustable.
While sitting new chair, check your posture now and then. Make sure the lower back is firmly against the chair back. All the main blood vessels that supply the extremities run down the back of the legs. Therefore, crossing your legs greatly decreases the blood flow to your heart and puts an unnecessary strain on
