While going over the ergonomics software, we
have begun to notice a growing trend. One of the most frequent complaints in the workplace is headaches. Employees were complaining of headaches occurring several times a week. I have researched the topic, but found several options very difficult to do while at work (
i.e.
take a shower). However, after further research, I found tips to help with headaches WHILE AT WORK!! Here are 3 of the most common fixes in the office, ENJOY...
1. Improve your posture:
Poor posture while working at a desk, driving, or standing causes muscle tension which can cause tension headaches. If you are having trouble getting comfortable while at your workstation contact ECI for a professional workstation evaluation.
2. Move the monitor: A window behind the monitor or a monitor that is too far away can cause eye strain, a known culprit of tension headaches. A general rule of thumb is to have the monitor arm's length away (if you have trouble reading it then, call your optometrist, you may need glasses).
3. Drink water: You may be dehydrated....simple.
