Best Desk Setup to Fix Your JAW

The Best Desk Setup and Best Ergonomic Work Setup for the Jaw Joints do not have to be Hard or Expensive.

There are 3 simple steps you can take to ensure your jaw joints stay healthy despite busy Deskwork schedule you undertake.

1 CHECK HUMP AT THE BACK OF YOUR NECK
Are you looking down, staring at the computer screen or smartphone / tablet device screen?

Solution:
Correct your HUMP and

2 PUT SCREEN CENTRE AT EYE HEIGHT
Is your screen too low? Is that why you are looking down?

Solution:
Put the screen up so that screen centre is at your eye height in the corrected posture (it is really high!!).
Put something underneath the desktop screen to prop the screen up or
put laptop up on laptop stand and put that on a box to raise the screen up.
At the same time, if still not enough height – you may need to lower your chair height

3 USE SPLIT KEYBOARD TO KEEP HANDS WIDER THAN ELBOWS

This helps to activate your upper back muscles rather than chest and front of the neck muscles. By using upper back and shoulder rotator cuff muscles it helps to stop overusing front chest muscles that are often the common offenders on neck and shoulder and upper back pain and headaches and ultimately jaw problems such as clenching and grinding and pain.

So Happy Rehab!
Cheers!
