I work eight hours a day at the administration office of a huge architectural firm and I can assure you that I try as hard as I can to consciously maintain a correct computer posture because I can feel the difference on the amount of stress that translates to my back when I do not. I would love to stand up or to be more active throughout the day however unfortunately this is not a possibility for me, as my job requires that I stay sitting down in a passive state throughout most of the day.

This is why I have bought a book which takes about work yoga and which teaches how to maintain a correct computer posture throughout the day. In the mornings when I wake up I practice daily Pilates sessions for thirty minutes before taking a bath, these Pilates exercises are excellent for my health as they keep my core muscles strong, These muscles are in turn the muscles responsible for helping me achieve a correct computer posture which minimizes the strain suffered on my back vertebrae. I believe that practicing Pilates every day as well as maintaining good computer posture are the two main customs which have helped me to reduce and avoid the chances of suffering for painful back aches, such as the ones which many of my coworkers suffer. I have tried to talk to these coworkers who constantly complain about pain on the back, the neck and on the shoulders about the importance of maintaining a correct and aligned computer posture however they are reluctant to following my advice.

They simply will not accept the fact that practicing simple Pilates exercises for such a short time during the mornings will eliminate and cure their aback aches, and that by practicing a correct computer posture they will maximize their work efficiency because they will be able to better concentrate and they wont feel pain in any of their muscles. I used to be plagued by tension on my shoulders and on my back, just as many of my coworkers are nowadays, the only difference between me and them is that I sought the help of Pilates to change my condition while they refused to do so, now they are still affected by this painful condition while I, who have learnt how to maintain a correct computer posture, am in total relaxation and experience to type of stress or pain on any of my muscles or joints.
