Reduce Workplace Injury Whether we work at a desk or in manual job, we can develop pain or injury relating to our work. Two of the most common are neck and lower back pain. If you’re regularly in a position which is not good for your body, it can start to wear down and cause injury. But you don’t have to accept this as an inevitable consequence of work. Simple changes like obtaining a new chair, or setting up your work station correctly can have a positive impact. There are also exercises that we can do throughout the day which can help increase mobility and prevent injury. These exercises concentrate on ensuring a strong mobile thoracic spine, which promotes good posture while minimising the chance of injury. The thoracic spine is at the centre of our ability to move freely. If it becomes stiff then this impacts on our lower back, our neck and our shoulders and arms. Shoulder rolls are excellent. Roll one at a time forward and then backward, then both together. Spinal rotation is also good. Lift your arms in front of you to shoulder height, bent at the elbows fingertips almost touching, then twist gently to the right and the left several times, trying to turn a little further each time without straining. Try some pectoral stretches by placing your hands behind your head and lacing your fingers together. Draw both elbows back to open the shoulders and rib cage. Hold the position for fifteen seconds. These exercises can be done easily while sitting or standing at your desk so do them 3-4 times per day. This about optimising your work place. Flexible sit/stand desks are becoming more popular. A sit/ stand desk is one that allows the user to alternate between sitting and standing by being able to lower or raise the work surface. By being able to alternate sitting and standing, users can vary their body position more often which is better for spine health. By Louise Addison
