Watching television is an activity many people practice daily, for long periods of time. According to the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses of Costa Rica<\/a>, 92.4% of the country’s inhabitants watch television 5 and \/ or 6 days a week. In other words, this is a recurring practice for a long time, and that is why you must be very careful with it. If you watch television in the wrong position in bed, you can cause yourself an injury that can cause a lot of pain later on. This is why at NeuroFT<\/a> we want to give you the following recommendations so that you can continue to enjoy this activity, without causing yourself any harm!<\/p>\n<\/div>

Common Mistakes<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Most of the mistakes that are made cause stress in the lower back and the neck area. Causing back pain and neck pain, among others. The most common mistake is not having support in the lower back or neck. For example, when you sit up but have a hunched back and leave a gap between the wall and your lower back, it causes stress on your lower back. Or also when you lie down completely but only keep your back slightly elevated, without any support to help support, this can hurt you too.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Recommendations for Watching TV<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
    \n
  • Correct Posture:<\/strong> the main recommendation is to maintain a correct posture. We suggest an upright posture, where the trunk of the body is straight and never bends. This would be avoiding being totally lying on the bed. This way, the vertical column will not be forced. It is also recommended to place a pillow under the knees, to further decrease the pressure on the lumbar area.<\/li>\n
  • Use Elements:<\/strong> as we mentioned in the previous point, you can use pillows or bandage elements to help you have a better posture when lying in bed. They sell special pillows, articulated beds, or memory foam mattresses, among others. The easiest thing you always have on hand are pillows, so take advantage of them and help yourself to watch TV better.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
