Get Out of Your Slump

Bad posture is a major contributor to neck pain. Think about your posture every time you are sitting, standing, or lifting. Always try to keep your head and neck straight and make sure your back is supported. When you sit at your desk, for example, your computer should be at eye level and your chair should be right up against your back (in other words, dont press your nose against the computer screen). Your mouse should be positioned low enough so that you dont have to continually reach for it. When you go to pick something up, dont lean forward. Instead, bend from your knees and keep your back straight.
