If you are finding yourself spending more time working with your laptop, consider getting a separate keyboard and mouse and elevating your laptop. This will allow you to protect your wrists as well as your neck, shoulders, and upper back. https://t.co/pyYETgmc6w

"What our data shows is that sitting for more than 30 minutes at a time is particularly linked to a higher risk of cancer. The good news is that breaking up your sitting time with something as simple as a short walk could be protective."

Movement improves blood flow, lubricates joints, and hydrates your spinal discs.
So, get up briefly and move or stretch every ~20-60 minutes if you have a sedentary job. And stand when possible, such as while on the phone, reading, or during meetings.

If someone is suffering from neck pain from a poorly setup workstation, that pain isn’t just in the ergonomics bucket.

So, what’s wrong with just sitting on the sofa while you work?
The sofa rarely allows you to sit in proper alignment. Prolonged sitting without sufficient support or in misaligned postures can place significant stress on your entire musculoskeletal system.
