Comfortable home working

Many of us are working from home and lots of us are reading on laptops, tablets and mobile phones.

We are aware that we might return to school and work, when 'lockdown' is over, with back and neck problems so we have done some research for you, to find the best advice on safe practice.

This YouTube video has been out there for some time.  Don’t be put off by the Spanish introduction if you don’t speak Spanish, there is no dialogue.  It offers simple advice on using a laptop safely.  Along with some of the links below it does suggest using a separate keyboard.

Remember if you do go cycling observe the social distancing rules!

If using a phone or tablet you may want to think about investing in a stand, if you do not already own one.

We would like to think that Indiana University know what they are talking about.  This advice is simple, clear and well-illustrated.    

There is loads of clear information with presentations and videos on the Spine Health website. Spine Health is an American spine medicine portal that supports the education of patients through peer-reviewed content.  

This NHS information is a bit dry but not information overload and has a good video about stretches and moving, something we may find ourselves doing less of as Boris has asked us to go for just one, local, walk, run or cycle a day!
