Although sitting requires less muscular effort, it still causes fatigue because of reduced circulation to Muscles, Bones, Tendons and Ligaments and can result in Stiffness and Pain.
 
Incorrect working positions like Irregular Spinal Postures for extended periods of time; sitting continuously, Poor Ergonomics, Stress, Physical Inertia, Air-conditioned environmentetc are the causes for Computer Related Injuries (CRI).
 
Optimize your performance and prevent Computer-Related Injuries (CRI) with Healthy Computing.If CRI is not early intervened it leads to permanent or chronic disability like:
 
*          Myo-Fascial Pain Syndrome                     *          Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
*          Carpal Tunnel Syndrome                         *          Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy
