Step-by-Step Computer Set-Up to Stop Neck, Back & Arm Pain.

[@reljasaurus]

"mouse dominant, bob?" Thanks guys, helped my overall posture and back pain a lot

[@mattrinne]

You can tell from Brad's face and laugh that there's more to that "mouse dominant" story... :)

[@ignaciodrake866]

sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know a trick to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot my account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me

[@kharikyle3610]

@Ignacio Drake instablaster =)

[@ignaciodrake866]

@Khari Kyle Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@ignaciodrake866]

@Khari Kyle It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my ass !

"You better believe I do, Bob."

[@KartikChugh]

The energy here is great 🤣

[@psalmandgrace]

Hi Bob and Brad. Can you also discuss a better way for students to write notes (not typing) while sitting down most of the time in class. Thanks!

[@IdolEyes84]

Good idea, and also posture when travelling (aeroplanes, buses etc).

[@smazziszaz]

And also for artists while drawing! Especially professional artists, we literally do this the whole day.

[@galanoth17]

I love these guys old school clean comedy. It grows on you.

[@jazzaguayo9842]

I have freakishly long arms. My elbows when I sit hit my hip bones. A normal desk kills my shoulders and neck. I'm buying a lap board right now! Thank you!

[@harbyandrefrancofernandez3310]

Just wanna say, thanks for making videos like these. Nobody likes to risk some permanent pain just because we do regular stuff

[@09jjacqueli]

These guys are precious! Thank you for presenting solutions for a real problem. I’m set up all wrong-

[@inthevault9603]

“Butt back” 😍 I love these two. I’m dying. This is fantastic I’m actually taking notes on this in my never ending quest for the perfect home office chair.

[@jasonbeckstrand6317]

To be honest, I'm almost surprised how many genuine comments there are without saying these guys are hilarious! 😂 Thanks very helpful!!

[@IdolEyes84]

You two are very professional and polite. I have a laptop and I put it on top of a clear case. The good thing is that my screen is at a good height, my hands/arms are up to high though and could hurt my shoulders and make me lean forward, because it's a laptop they monitor and keyboard are joined, so I have to keep it this way.

[@shinoeSHY29]

I should've searched this. These guys are a life saver.

[@JonathanVaucher]

Thanks for this. I'm a bit more specialised in my line of work : I'm a pathologist working long hours on a microscope AND a computer to also type reports. The orgonomics is very challenging to get right as the microscope is bulky on my desk.

[@jenniferhizzy6591]

GOOFS, Thank you

[@zachboyle54]

Good choice of words Bob!

[@Hugmir]

Many, many thanks for your videos. They have helped both me and my friends greatly, and they keep on giving.

[@CalebRussell1]

Thanks Bob & Brad

[@johnnoe9682]

Tks guys!

[@michaelangelodatu3224]

Just reviewed this in the Giles review book. It really helps when I can see it. Another great video guys

[@abidkhanpro]

Your videos help me a lot. This is very important video for me

[@ddq57sm64]

Thanks Bob and Brad... You gave me some great tips!

[@brockjazz8838]

Thanks, I'm going to try 20 min. getting up. For me, I think I need computer reading glasses so I don't tilt my neck while reading on the computer. I am in neck pain every day. Please do more ergonomic computer videos with ideas for both home and work. Thanks!

[@sivabathiraramanan6545]

Please make a video mentioning, how to write simultaneously while using computer. Thank you, sirs.

[@charleskoner9606]

Thank you. Very helpful. Concise & to the point yet pleasant. NB: as a bifocal wearer I found that a pair of mid range glasses for desk work helped a lot.

[@komalshankaran8458]

Thank you so much for the video, keep making more good videos like this

[@angelaguillen8972]

What a important information, excellent video , everything what I really need , becouse I didn't know what to buy

[@akshazu]

Thanks a lot Dr.

[@shubhamagarwal2998]

Deeply useful...cervical pain sucks 😭

[@1eurochair225]

The current seats are as ergonomic as a straitjackets, they fit people as long as they stay still!

[@HowardForton]

Great video Brad and Bob.

[@subStuff]

Thank you for this one. It was long awaited.

[@subStuff]

***** You guys are awesome. Would like to hear your thoughts on cell phone usage. With so much time daily spent using phones, I fear the kids and teens are headed for RSI of hand and wrist.

[@annetteysquierdo]

Thank you! I needed this!

[@MrSandeeparneja]

excellent points. thank you!

[@jolandacristiano2549]

Love your videos! I am a yoga teacher and always looking for "bones" professionals :D Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@SIMS6]

Thank you so much for such an awesome video! love

[@nidalfikri3445]

Awesome video doctors!

[@codenameir1]

Thank you so much This was very educational !

[@utkarshsharma424]

thanks to both of u .

[@BobandBrad]

You are welcome :)

[@rhondafleming8567]

Thanks for another helpful video. I have taken steps to get my monitor at eye level on my desktop, and my keyboard is in an pull-out drawer at good wrist height. My issue is still with the mouse. My keyboard is fairly wide (and lighted, so I love it) so I must extend my arm out to the side to reach the mouse. My whole right arm goes numb, and my neck and shoulder ache. My right hand is now always cold. I've tried putting the mouse in my lap, but if I'm close to the keyboard, there is no room, and my wrist gets crimped backwards. I'm at my wits end! Any additional thoughts? Thanks for all you do! You are so prolific! You must not get any sleep thinking up new videos!

[@triniraleigh3936]

I need this guys!

[@HollanderT12345]

Thanks.

[@tampico333]

Thanks for the video.

[@elizabethv1559]

Another great video!

[@tampico333]

wowwww, genial, muchas gracias, buen consejo

[@lissiewalkin3354]

Very helpful!!!

[@korbindallas8224]

I don't know if it's in the video, but scapular retraction vs protraction while sitting up straight is huge. Don't just pull your shoulders back, that isn't enough. You must know the difference!

[@peachlife5118]

thanks guys

[@kathyware5694]

Can you advise positioning simultaneously keying and writing

[@thescolex]

i wish i knew this in my early 20s, before i fucked everything up so much to correct now

[@Nina-jc3be]

Did you end up fixing your issues?

[@jd3666]

"Don't sit like my doctor friend" "No dont sit like my doctor friend bob!" Click and Clack the ergonomic brothers.

[@psdaengr911]

It' s obvious that either of these men have experience sitting all day at a computer and don;t know that laptop computers outnumbered desk PCs when this was made, and now outsell them by more than 2:1. If you will spend $1000 for a bed that you use 6-07 hours per day, why would you spend less for the furniture your waking body needs to do your job? Computer equipment should be moved to fit a comfortably seated user, not vice versa. The keyboard should be moved to the arms and hands, not vice versa. It is impossible to outfit an occasional/side table, as shown here, or a writing desk to properly position computer equipment for a seated user. Because neither the furniture nor the equipment can be adjusted properly, neither Bob nor Brad was using the chair back or arms for support so a lumbar cushion is pointless. The chair might as well be a stool. I've worked at a computer for hours at a time for +30 years and seen hundreds of people who experience problems because they sat like Brad, at a computer that was placed on furniture that wasn't designed for computer use, on the wrong kinds of chairs, like the one shown here. That is a chair designed for a person who is NOT using a computer, but leaning forward and writing on a desk. A true computer chair has dynamic independently adjusting seat height and angle, back height and angle, and has arms with height, transverse and lateral positioning. All these adjustments can be made by a seated user except on poorly made or cheap chairs.

[@drnahidhasanphysiotherapis1404]

great

[@zion8303]

Omg, this was very helpful! Thank you. Any tips if we don’t have a detachable keyboard… like for laptops? 🙏🏾

[@phillipta]

You had me at the beginning bit

[@brijavpogi]

Thanks for that info. Doing this comment with that posture. But just one question. How about if you have dual or 3 monitors?

[@aandi22197]

Hi Bob And Brad, great video. What about when you have two screens. Do you have a video or set-up recommendation for that?

[@PaperCut2UGaming]

So what you're saying is that with good posture you don't end up using the upper back of the chair??

[@davidparker5530]

Does this help back posture? You better believe it, Bob.

[@kevincounselling]

YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT

[@samsam-zu7zc]

What about the legs, should they be under the table?

[@nicoleherrmann8398]

I know this is an old video but brand of lap desk is that?

[@vibhavg1064]

What if one day.... Bob:”We are physical therapists” Brad:” In our opinion of course Bob”😂

[@KeiraKATANA]

Can you do a new video for professional gamers? Including yes or no on the angled keyboard for straighter wrist, see esports and how they angle keyboards. I struggle with my chair arms going under desk or over, or level but smacking against the desk giving arms too much stretch.

[@nelidagarcia7412]

I watched your videos often. For 10 days I have had pain on my lower left back. Mostly painful to sit. Doctor mentioned sacroilliac joint and L5 degeneration after an xray. How can we have a definitive diagnosis when there seem to be many possible diagnosis like piriformes, sciatica, muscle strain? Would an MRI help? I am going to PT this week. Not feeling relief from my own stretches. Prior to getting the pain I heard alot of clicking when I exercised the hip joint.

[@literallyeverythingstaken]

yo what is the broken heart saga, lookin at recent vids it seems it got fixed

[@loisgreen6931]

LOVE YOU GUYS! Now, what to do with a laptop taken from room to room?

[@akafattboy]

bluetooth keyboard and mouse :) works wonder for me

[@deborahhopper1070]

Great info, I have a new problem while using the mouse, my doctor say I have tendonitis , I'm sure I misspelled this, but my rt wrist is aching all the way almost to my mid forearm, so help, what can I do to improve the use of my wrist and the mouse, btw I am rt handed. Thank you .

[@deborahhopper1070]

Will do, Thanks!

[@reneemcguire7244]

Back in the day: "What is the one best exercise for you? The one you do." Today: Bob and Brad have taught us that this quote is a fallacy.

[@warsaw11000]

Thanks. Where do you recommend putting the hands, when you are not typing. Is okay to rest them in your lap or legs?

[@evilgaming8285]

nice video :-)

[@cmsbeth]

Bifocals and trifocals are causing me to have significant neck pain. Finding the small area of the trifocal is difficult. I am going to ask my optician to make computer glasses for me.

[@alexandrdmitriev4953]

But i don't put my hands on desk while typing.Great video, btw!

[@supermary-o180]

Came here for my broken heart, I now have a much better posture, but my heart's still not fixed! Oh well.

[@cassieosaurus_9217]

What are your opinions on different kinds of ergonomic keyboards and mice?

[@PAULLONDEN]

That's interesting ,but most people behind their laptop work in a much different position ?

[@hitmebabyonemoretime1399]

Maybe you guys aren't familiar with swimming but many of my friends and I suffer from shoulder injuries which is common in swimming and we'd love to know what to do to help keep our shoulders strong and active whilst not causing us lots of pain, any advice?

[@hitmebabyonemoretime1399]

also it's usually in the back of our shoulders and there's often times cracking

[@Kermondale]

I have a Standing work bench for computer desk.

[@SakkiDuran]

So yeah. This screen high may be good for your neck and back but it's terrible for your eyes. When you put the screen that high your eyes work more and, as you actually blink less when you are using a screen, your eyes become very dry.

[@smashsachin]

thanks for your insights. I use two monitors at my work, how to set up those to avoid any damage?

[@DiamondScuff]

one above or below the other that way it will cause you to look up and down. Top one for main focus bottom for the odd look

[@ryujin422]

these two old men are great lmao

[@JV-pd8wg]

How about laptop users?

[@melisahermoza3072]

What if you have two screens? Can you please describe what’s the best in that scenario?

[@eyeyeye-fm9oo]

I haven't really found a too good of a setup myself for that but what I've read that is recommended is that you turn your whole body towards the screen you are focusing at. Don't just turn your head back and forth.

[@ziddy8685]

so famous and has 17k views

[@JRWJWV]

Alright, I could listen to you two talk for HOURS. This was so fantastic. Thank you for the great content!

[@lucasterable]

Let's face it: nobody has, has ever had, or will ever have the correct setup.

[@holistic7980]

what about laptops?

[@cpchick81]

Thanks for the video. I have spastic quad CP & hydrocephalus with a VP shunt, I wear glasses and have very poor vision so need to be close to the screen. I have a few document holders exactly like the one in the video. My powerchair has seat elevation. What is a good height for the wheelchair to be at so I don't get so much pain when using my iPad? I have put some books underneath my iPad. I have a headrest and poor head control. I have scoliosis and lordosis especially in the dorsal and cervical spine. I have a lumbar support

[@frblaze2]

+physicaltherapyvideo can bicep tendonitis have the following effects? - popping shoulder - painful front part of shoulder when raising arm - can't do any horizontal pressing thanks

[@MaruyaSAg]

Low monitors work best for people wearing bifocals/trifocals/progressives.

[@BobandBrad]

Makes sense
