[spanteX]

Hello community , I'm a physiotherapist , and I want to share with you some tips to help you stay away from the side effects of sitting still for too long while playing games.

Tip 1: Improve your posture :-

• Sit with a straight spine instead of slouching
• Keep your elbows at 90 degrees to help avoid nerve compression.
• Keep your arms close to your sides
• Keep your feet flat on the floor
• Relax your shoulders
• Keep your lumbar spine on 110 deg curve if possible

Tip 2: Optimise your desk set-up:-

• Keep regularly-used items like a phone or notepad within easy reach
• Place your monitor at eye level, perpendicular to the top of the viewable part of the screen. This allows you to see a greater portion of the screen without looking up or down too far, reducing strain on the neck
• Place your monitor directly in front of your seat, to ensure you’re not twisting your back or neck to see it
• If you sit all the way back in a chair, use a lumbar cushion or get a chair with built-in lumbar support

Tip 3: Regular exercises and stretches :-

• Remember this is a mobile world , don't stay home playing games while you are quarantied all day long !
• Do home work outs to stay fit , eat healthy and forget the junk food please .
• Exercise your mind too ! not just your body , you need to read books , watch valuable movies and do good for the people around you.

Finally, I'm ready to answer your questions about back pain or neck pain feel free to leave a message and I will help you out for sure stay home and stay safe .

It has to be a medical one , not a normal one because it can cause you more pain
