Our guest today is Dr. Lia Kwan. Dr. Kwan works with computer related injuries and problems. Dr. Kwan, do you see more computer-related problem these days?
Oh, definitely yes. People are doing more and more with computers and that means more physical problems.
So what can we do?
Well, how you sit at the computer is very important. First, have a good chair. It should support your back well.
OK, a good chair.
And also your feet should be flat on the floor when you're sitting. You shouldn't cross your legs.
OK. I don't always keep my feet flat on the floor at the computer.
I know, it's hard sometimes. Anyway, you shouldn't sit too close to the screen either.
Is half a meter away enough?
Not exactly. You should sit about an arm's length away.
What about the keyboard?
The position of arms and hands should be relaxed on the keyboard.
That's really helpful. Another advice?
Yes, that all about sitting. The other thing is about not sitting. You shouldn't sit at the computer too long. Make sure you take breaks often and move around, too.
