Workplace Ergonomics — How to Maintain Optimal Health and Energy
Do you sit or stand for hours on end at work? Having improper workplace ergonomics can impact your health and energy. In order to maintain optimal health, it is important to have proper posture and stretch throughout the day. At Marshall Family Chiropractic, we provide adjustments that will improve your posture and rid you of your back and neck pain due to sitting or standing for long periods of time.
Why Good Posture Is Important
Although there are many reasons a person may have poor posture, including your workplace ergonomics, having good posture can benefit your overall health and help you maintain your energy levels. Here are a few benefits of having good posture:
- Better mood and energy: A major benefit of good posture is the way it affects your mood. Proper posture equals increased circulation, and this results in more blood getting to the brain. You are now more focused and energized, and more productive in your day.
- Better breathing and fewer headaches: When you sit or stand up straight with your shoulders back, it’s noticeably easier to breathe. This is because there’s more room in your chest to take deeper breaths. Poor posture, like slouching, can cause tension in your neck and decrease circulation, leading to headaches.
- Improved spine and neck health: By practicing proper posture, you help reduce the risk of back and neck pain. Slouching or hunching at a desk can affect the alignment of your spine. If your job requires you to stand for long periods of time, standing properly can help you prevent muscle tension and joint aches.
