Benefits of Neutral Posture – Our Monthly Tip for Industrial Athletes
Prolonged periods of sitting on or off the job increase your risk for back and neck pain. A neutral posture helps prevent physical discomfort.
Tips

- When keyboarding, keep wrists, hands and neck in a neutral position.
- Take microbreaks to gently stretch your neck, arms, waist and legs.
