Is your laptop a PAIN?  Here's how to use it safely.

The use of laptop is steadily increasing and so is associated neck, shoulder and upper extremities problems. The very design of a laptop is problematic if it is to be used on a regular basis or for prolonged periods: the screen and keyboard being attached to each other mean that neither are in an optimal position. As a result, your arms tend to stretch, your shoulders huntch and your head to move forward, which increases the stress on your neck, shoulder, upper back & arms. Any static posture will lead to your tissues becoming fatigued and at increased risk of injury.

Prevention is important, however if you are already experiencing symptoms, Call your Norwih Osteopath now on 03300 881221 or
email us to book your appointment    


NHS Choices recommends the following laptop-use tips :

1. For sustained periods of work, use your laptop with a monitor and separate keyboard so the 
    screen can be positioned at eye level and the keyboard near you

2. Place the laptop on a stable base where there is support for your arms, and not on your lap

3. Take regular breaks to relieve upper body tension and do some gentle stretches. If you are
    moving there's a lot less stress on your body and joints

4. Use a good sitting posture (see "Setting up your desk") with appropriate back support and 
    keep desk equipment within reach

Remember: aches & pains build up over time. Get into good habbits before it starts!
