Your computer or workstation can cause pain.

Your workstation, desk or computer environment may be the cause, or a major contributor factor, if you experience headaches, neck pain, eye pain, shoulder pain, back pain, wrist pain, carpal tunnel syndrome or fatigue. If you maintain a sustained posture throughout the day can create patterns of myofascial and muscle tighness that hurt or contribute to pain elsewhere in your body.

Sit with your keyboard, mouse and computer monitor in front of you. You should sit with both feet on the floor, your hips slightly above your knees, your back supported, elbows at your side and hands comfortably on the keyboard. The top edge of your monitor should be the same level as your eyebrows and it should be about 18" away from you.

Do you wear bifocals? If you need to use the lower lens at your computer, it may cause you to extend your neck too far back. To reduce this, invest in a dedicated pair of glasses for when you sit at your computer.

Do you talk on the phone for work? Holding a telephone between your head and shoulder is asking for neck and shoulder pain and tightness. Invest in or ask your work for a "hands free" headset. This will give you the freedom to sit properly at your desk while maintaining good posture.
