Tilts and turns of the head have a mechanical effect on the walls of the cervical blood vessels, increase their elasticity; irritation of the vestibular apparatus causes the expansion of the blood vessels of the brain. Breathing exercises, especially breathing through the nose, change their blood supply. All this enhances cerebral circulation, increases its intensity and facilitates mental activity.

Working at a computer is not the best way affects the state of human health. Long stay at the monitor can lead to the appearance of quite typical diseases for this lifestyle. The risk group includes people who are forced to spend several hours a day at the computer - especially more than 4-5 hours. First of all, these are office workers, sales assistants, cashiers, people engaged in intellectual activities and university students. Everyone knows about the dangers of working at a computer, but not everyone realizes that most of the unpleasant consequences of such work can be avoided if you perform specially selected exercises to relieve fatigue.

We improve cerebral circulation

When we sit at the monitor, the body does not take the “correct” posture: the back is bent, the torso is slightly tilted forward. Especially carefully you need to monitor the position of the head. If the monitor is at a distant distance or at the wrong height, then the person instinctively stretches the neck forward, while raising the chin. If you look from the side, it will be noticeable that the head in this position is, as it were, thrown back. At the same time, the load on the cervical spine and neck muscles increases, blood circulation worsens, and therefore the blood supply to the brain tissues decreases.

The situation will be corrected by special exercises for fatigue, described below, which must be performed regularly to obtain the desired result.

  1. Without rising from the chair, lower your arms down along the torso and let them hang freely. Slowly, without jerking, lower your head forward, relax, count to three. Next, return to the starting position and lower your head back, also counting to three.
  2. Hands on the belt. Do all the same head tilts with a countdown, but not forward and backward, but left and right. Try to tilt your head as low as possible - ideally, you should touch your shoulder with your ear without lifting them. This is not possible for everyone and only at a young age.
  3. We put the right hand behind the head and try to touch the left shoulder, while turning the head to the right, we linger in this position for three seconds. We do the same with the left hand, but in a mirror image.

Each exercise should be performed 4-6 times.

Relax the muscles of the shoulder and forearm

Many readers are asking: indicate a set of exercises to relieve fatigue at the computer. To relieve fatigue from the shoulder area, perform the following exercises described below.

  1. Starting position - standing. One arm is raised up perpendicular to the floor, the other - forward - parallel to the floor. We change the position of the hands one by one, we begin the simultaneous movement at a comfortable pace. We make swings with our hands for 10-15 seconds.
  2. The exercise is performed while standing, hands on the belt. We try to take the elbows back as much as possible, while lowering the head forward and trying to reach the chest (collarbone) with the chin. Count to three and return to the starting position. Run 5-10 times.

Stretching your back

During the stay at the computer, various components of the spinal column and muscles suffer the most. To effectively relieve back fatigue, perform the following exercises described below.
