Do you experience arm, neck, back or shoulder pain when typing? The position of your body could be the culprit of this. When typing at a computer or desk, our arms should be comfortable between a 90-120 degree angle, with our back and neck straight, wrists and shoulders relaxed.
Common no-no’s that could result in arm or wrist strain, or lead to carpal tunnel and repetitive strain injury include:
- Incorrect table height causing your arms to be more more or less than at 90 degrees
- Slouching or hunching over a desk or laptop
- A cluttered workspace causing you to contort your body into unnatural positions
- If you are experiencing any of the above issues, it sounds like it’s time to invest in a keyboard tray.
