Working from home or stress have you feeling a little uptight? Here's a few easy ways to relieve that tension without leaving home:
Whether your dining room table has become your new "office" or you are on the couch with your laptop, there's a good chance your posture is taking the hit, says Rebecca Brown, a physical therapist.
"Due to the height of the laptop, laptop users often sit with rounded shoulders and a downward tilted chin, which is not ergonomically sound," she says. "To keep your shoulders expanded and neck elongated, I recommend subbing your laptop screen for a computer monitor that can be positioned at eye level, which will encourage an upright sitting posture."
You can also try propping your laptop on top of a stack of books to achieve a more posture-friendly position., an OTC-cream made with ingredients like camphor, menthol, and clove oil. “Tiger Balm is like Indian hot sauce for me," she says. "I put it on everything." For peak effect, Singh recommends taking a hot bath andapplying Tiger Balm because it will better permeate the skin and relax the muscles. Apply it to your neck, the base of the head, the chest, and any other part of your body that’s sore. Singh says you'll find the cream eases tension, facilitates breathing, and improves the quality of sleep because of its relaxing effect.
