Having ergonomic office equipment for your home business can save your back. Being uncomfortable at home or in the office can cause you to be increasingly irritable, as well as contribute to physical problems. When you first begin to have problems, you don’t notice so much, because the pain is generally occasional or non-existent. Often, when you start to notice them more, the damage has already been done. You can end up with permanent problems from uncomfortable work positions.

These problems could include carpal tunnel syndrome, spine injury, nerve damage, tendonitis and muscle tears. Some of these problems are only alleviated by surgery. There are some steps you can take to prevent this. Buying ergonomically correct chairs for your home business is a great way to start. Be sure they are height adjustable.

After sitting in one position for an extended period of time, you have to deal with small joint aches, the feeling of needles and pins in your extremities, stiff necks and other small problems. Imagine what sitting in that position can do to your body, after a number of years of working the same job, holding your head in the same position and stretching in uncomfortable ways. Holding your body in uncomfortable and unnatural positions for any extended amount of time can also detract from your work, causing fatigue, stress and a shortened attention span, due to constant moving and rearranging of your body.

At your home business desk or any job, your feet should be planted flat and firmly on the floor in front of you, and your knees should at a 90-degree angle from your hips and ankles. Your work area should be located just above your lap, so that you are not stretching or holding your arms and hands at strange angles, causing tendonitis. Keep pressure off of your wrists at pressure points in order to alleviate numbing of your hands. Keep items that you will be looking at within a short distance of your head, in order to avoid stretching or straining to see them.

If you spend a large amount of time on the phone in your home business, buy a hands-free headset. This will keep you from tilting your head and resting the phone between your ear and your shoulder, cutting down on neck pain, strain and possible nerve damage. If you stare at the computer screen for extended lengths of time, be sure that it is aligned with your eyes so that you’re not tilting your head up or down to see what you’re focusing on. Glare from the screen can be a problem, so buy a filter that fits over the screen and shields your eyes from glare, causing less eyestrain.

Be aware of your body, and use these healthy tips to make working at your home business less stressful on it.
