Simple tips for home office health

The Chiro from The Chiro - Upper Hutt

After coming out of lockdown, we have noticed a lot of our practice members continuing to work from home. 🤓
Postural stress is a common complaint we are hearing, as people are working from their counter tops or dining room tables.
We have a few tips to help your not so ideal home setup to be as ergonomic as possible to ensure we are supporting your posture and spinal health while you work from home. 👍

Some common complaints we are hearing include:
Shoulder tension
Headaches
Eye strain
Tight upper back muscles
Neck pain
Tight hip flexors

Check out our blog on more information on how you can set up your workstation to best avoid these postural stressors - thechiro.co.nz...

FAMILY OF POTHOLES

Michael from Trentham

Not the biggest pothole in NZ but Alexander Road in Trentham has one of its round-abouts with a family of potholes on the roading making it difficult to avoid them.

The Upper Hutt City Council was quick and ridiculous to reduce the speed limit of all Alexander Road from 80kg to 50kg but not so quick to repair this multiple of potholes.

I must not hold my breath because nearly 4 years ago I held a discussion with the UHCC roading chief on the appalling state of the busy Ward Street road in Wallaceville and he agreed but asked me which would you prefer - fixing up Fergusson Drive or Ward Street as a priority. Well nothing has been done either to Fergusson Drive.

I am hoping the new Government with its plans to reverse some speed restrictions and introduce reducing speed restrictions on some roads, will prompt the UHCC to wake up their ideas of Alexander Road which in most part is non urban residential housing.
