3. Backache & Neck Pain

Many computer users suffer serious back and neck problems.  This is probably due to a poor posture or an awkward position while sitting at a computer.

Some of the things that people can do to help avoid back pain are:

- Use a fully adjustable chair. The height of the chair and the seat position should be easy to change.

- Use footrests so that the legs are kept at a more natural angle

- Use a monitor which is adjustable. Position it so that the neck doesn't have to bend

- Take regular breaks and walk about.

- Sit with the back straight and the head up, don't slouch
