6 Ways to Support Your Arms – Prevent Neck & Shoulder Pain

Описание: Your arms are heavy. If they are not supported, your shoulders and neck end up carrying the load — and pain follows.

In this video, I explain 6 ways to support your arms, with practical examples of tools and setups you can use:

00:00 intro
00:45 use your lats
01:37 leaning on the desk
02:18 using padded supports (incl. wrist rest)
03:13 mobile arm supports (e.g. ErgoRest)
04:14 armrests attached to the chair (e.g. 4D armrests, Posiflex)
05:12 hangers, suspenders (e.g. Perdelle Neo, load balancer)

Supporting the arms properly can make the difference between chronic neck tension and lasting comfort. Not all options are equal, and some may even create new problems — but understanding the alternatives is the first step.

Whether you are a programmer, gamer, designer, or office worker, these strategies will help you find the right support for your arms and prevent unnecessary strain
