You just need to pay attention to minute things, which may be really beneficial to you. Follow our simple relaxation techniques that will help you keep yourself relaxed all the time.
Comfortable and good sitting chairs cost a lot and may not be available to everybody. Whatever happens don’t ever compromise over a chair not in good condition or which doesn’t have the right height for you as both your health and work are going to suffer.
If you have a height adjustable chair see that the height of your chair, your body and height of the table are right. Sometimes even a small adjustment of height will make you feel comfortable. A lot of chairs are available in the market. Kneeling chairs have both pro’s and con’s. When you sit on these your hips are higher then your knees and spine is upright. Slump a little and come to the correct position. With this you can breathe better. But if you sit on it for a long time its uncomfortable.
Chairs without arms are better as you cannot rest your arms or elbows which would have created unnecessary tension for the muscles of your neck, shoulders and upper back. When your hands are not busy keep your shoulders back and down and rest your hands in your lap.
If you are tall and long legged you need to place your feet away from each other, as there will be wide angle between your calves and thighs. If you are tall and have a large upper body see that height of your chair is balanced with your work. If your are short, sit fairly high so that your feet don’t touch the ground. Fill the gap with old newspapers, stools etc.
These are some of the relaxation techniques that you can follow while you are at work or in your office. You can practice these techniques at the convenience of your office place without disturbing your work.
