Today, in computer-adhered employees, workplace stress seems to be the most accepted cause of headaches.
However, muscles of the eyes too, which gradually get tired due to consistent staring on to the desktop screen, secondarily straining the muscles of the neck and of the upper back, cause work time headaches to appear and sustain.
Headaches arising out of such regular fatigue of muscles don’t get resolved with caffeinated drinks, smoking or medications.
Specific workplace behaviour is important to be adopted for good, to keep the incidences low and of quickly-resolving nature.
Cooling the eyes in between, with the help of wet wipes or by splashing water on closed eyes, four to five times a day, is a simple step to start with. Doing so reduces the impact of tiredness on the muscles of the eyes and therefore prevents build-up of fatigue further in neck and upper back muscles, thus reducing the probabilities of compulsory posture-caused headaches.
To understand best workplace behaviours and ergonomic sequences in a personalized manner, for headaches and other aches and pains at workplace, book a clinic or an online physio-ergonomic assessment appointment with Sugar Den- The Physiotherapy Clinic, at Janakpuri in West Delhi, or at Bengaluru, or at Patna, today.
