Laptops are ergonomic disasters.  You may not feel it now.  But down the road, prolonged use can lead to having your head stuck forward, rounded shoulders, neck pain, headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, back pain and more.

There are a few ways to use a laptop computer or notebook with less stress.

This may be a funny clip from the TV show “The Office”.  But these exercise balls make great office chairs.

You may want to switch on and off between the ball and your regular office chair according to comfort.  But the more variety you can add to your day, the better it is for your body and your mind.

For office use, the ball should be taller than you knees.

There are hundreds of exercises that can be done with exercise balls.
