If you work in an office environment there is normally someone who is responsible for setting your computer up right whether that is having someone physically check your set up or a sheet of paper that you use as a guide.
What happens when you get home?
Many of us have access to laptops, iPad's or similar or smart phones which draw you in for hours at a time surfing the internet.
All that hard work during the working day sitting up straight, not holding the phone in-between your ear and your shoulder is then potentially ruined when you come home and sit twisted onto the nice soft sofa.
Often we sit on one side of the sofa or have a particular chair we prefer so this pattern of twisting and poor posture is repeated each day.
Today I have seen a gentleman that was complaining of golfers elbow (pain on the inside of the elbow) and on questioning we discovered that he habitually holds his arm across his body in the evening contributing to a shortening of his biceps muscle which is likely to be affecting his elbow.
Another lady I have seen recently always leant on the right side of the sofa arm with her elbow which, over time, lead to compaction in the shoulder joint.
For the few seconds it takes just make sure you're sitting straight without a twist in the spine before watching your favourite soap.
