Ergonomy

[meagain00]

Hi all. I don't know if here is the right place for this post, but let's go. Please move if necessary.

I just came to tell you: Pay attention to ergonomy while playing poker for a long period. Make pauses, exercises, and be careful with your body. Sometimes, everything seems okay, but soon you will have serious problems.

Today I had a surgery on my back. It was not all poker related, but I'm sure it can contribute. Hours and hours in front of my laptop, after 8-9 hours seated in my office.

Make it count! Be careful.

I'm okay at home right now.

Cheers,

Good organization and moderate regime are the right words! It is also worth paying attention to a good screen and the correct color settings. The lives of your eyes matter!

I hope you recover and get well.
After I had covid in 2019, I had sequelae, especially back pain, but I consulted a physical therapist and he gave me some exercises and I'm getting better.
The big problem is that I'm very forgetful and sometimes I stop doing the exercises, I think the covid affected my memory too.
I noticed that my two neurons are not talking to each other.

I wish you a quick recovery and thank you for your advice.

So Cesar the covid did not affect your back, it affected your brain.
I also had covid and it affected my brain too. I was crazy before, now I'm much worse
My regards, brother

The important thing brother is that first of all you are in better health.
Maybe poker added to your long office hours.
When I worked in the office years ago I suffered a lot from my spine, today I have arthritis in the lower area of my spine.
Well brother, maybe a good daily exercise brings improvements to so much sedentary lifestyle
Greetings and good health

Good topic and good advice. Ergonomics is very important for those who are in a sitting position for a long time.

I consider that playing poker for many hours is harmful to health. both mentally and physically, it is a very important topic to deal with in chat forums. I have also had cervical problems and headaches, all of this is due to the many hours that I sometimes spend on my computer. It's not healthy at all, that's why I recommend not playing for long periods, you have to take care of your health. Good advice.

It is very good advice, thank you, I regularly feel some pain from posture. I hope you are well from the operation, to continue

The quality of the chair you sit on is very important. You only get one back

Excellent advice. I noticed some agitation in my lower back, myself, and I went and got a nice Sealy office chair to play in. It was truly a positive investment. I hope you recover from your surgery in spades, lol. GL, man.

Good hint, meagain00!
Staying playing poker for many hours a day in the same position can harm the organism. It's always good to remember to move the whole body frequently and perform physical exercises that provide well-being.
