Why I love Computers - Tech Neck

Image
How Do I Injure Thee... Let me tally the ways! I love computers... especially laptops. They are good for my business. In the photo above, the person WILL develop neck and shoulder strain, headaches, rotator cuff injury, tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), wrist strain, carple tunnel syndrome, probably TMJ (Temporal mandibular joint) disorder, fatigue in the legs and possibly sciatica, pain under the knee caps, digestive disorders, emotional fatigue, and degenerative arthritis in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. If this person is working at a computer occupationally, they will probably be passed over for promotions. A recent article identified that at 60 degrees of forward flexion, there is a resultant compressive force of 60 pounds acting on the cervical spine. Imagine carrying a 60 pound load on your head... because when you slump.... you do! Tech Neck... sooooo good for business!  Mine! If you wish to learn how to work at a computer without it doing a job
