Video games are part of the daily lives of many French people. In recent months, they have become allies in supporting confinement. Even the WHO recommends playing video games to avoid isolation.
Musculoskeletal imbalances
However, practicing this key activity during confinement intensively is not without risk and can be harmful to the health of our backs and joints, causing musculoskeletal imbalances and causing multiple pains.
Prevent pain
The chiropractors of the French Chiropractic Association, on the front line of therapeutic responses to dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system and musculoskeletal disorders (MSD), note an increase in this type of pain and wish to prevent it.
Know the correct postures
Make sure that your screen is directly in front of you, that the seat is adjusted high enough so that your forearms rest naturally on the work surface and that the back of your neck can rest against the headrest of your seat .
Strengthen muscles
Even if you are passionate about video games, consider taking time to get out and do physical activities. Walking, cycling,... it doesn't matter, you have to keep doing outdoor activities in order to rest your eyes, unlock your joints and strengthen your muscles.
