You guys are a great team I love seeing you together this friendship is inspiring ❤️
When my son's school went virtual this is exactly what I set up for him. He has a separate monitor too. So both monitors are raised and he has a separate keyboard and mouse. Helps tremendously!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! May both of you be blessed with the best of health, lots of joy and wealth 🌟🌟
Do they even go through the comments if they do, Thank you Bob and Brad for your hard work all these years.
Thank you for your kind words!! We try to get to the comments, however we have a lot of videos so sometimes it takes a little while to get back to everybody! Hope you are having happy holidays!
I love what you guys do. You've helped me (and many others) so many times.
thank you guys!!! The hang feels GREAT!! great tips all around.
Sharing this video on my FP page for all my work at home friends and family. Thank you !
I needed this 20 years ago! Thanks guys anyway.
Merry Christmas Bob and Brad!
We hope you had a merry Christmas too!!
Thanks for all these helpful videos. Merry Christmas, Bob and Brad. God bless you and your families!
We hope you and your family had a Merry Christmas too!!
This video is a life saver! Definitely saving this!
you guys are simply the best...my most trusted source. thank you for the help
I’ve taken an ergonomics class before, the professor said that to achieve a neutral position *for the eyes* , the middle of the screen should be slightly below eye level (15 degrees). You won’t be looking down per se, it’s just the most comfortable position for the eyes to focus on average.
Nice work on sharing this, we've been seeing so many people getting more neck pain from prolonged computer usage!
You guys are great, I have lower back pain very bad and have been watching your videos. Thanks
good advice! Sharing with my mom. We both work at home on computers.
Wonderful tips! Thank you❣
Very helpful video! Thank you Bob and Brad!
When using a computer rather than raising the computer or table you can get a more comfortable and adjustable chair
The future society of hunchbacks.
I learned the L-shape for typing in the 1980s. I've been a secretary/typist for 40 years and I think that has kept me from having carpal tunnel unlike my friends.
Never heard about this L-shape, what are you referring to?
@@lucasterable Sitting, your arms are to your side and your forearms are straight out. I have a keyboard board that I put on my lap and type with my arms at an L shape. The wrists are straight out, not flexed up or down. I saw something in the 1980s about that's the perfect way to type so you have no injuries - I worked for a Workers' Compensation attorney which is probably why I was told.
@@carolynf384 Hi Carolyn, I'm currently trying to do the L shape technique when typing. I've put my keyboard on a flat pillow on my lap like the lapboard shown on this video. I just wanted to ask, in the L shape, do your forearms or wrists rest on your work surface while typing? Or are your hands and forearms floating while typing? Thanks!
@@DCAchtung Resting. I got a board that has a little raised area along the front, kind of like what you can put on the keyboard. My wrists lie on it. And my forearms are at my sides with my elbows lying against my hips, that keeps everything in an L position.
I am a little person and need a footstool. I hang each morning on the shower door track. It works. I can see some ways I can make positive changes. Thanks.
Absolute value
Thanks
👍
Love your videos. I dance and sing with my daughter during the introduction....silly!
Love it!
Love your videos. Great job guys!
Thank you !! I love all your videos and share them regularly.
Can you do a vid on swollen legs and ankles from sitting for too long?
Hey Fadumo Hiray! If they don’t get back to you, soon, try a yoga move called legs on the wall!!! It is awesome!!! You literally scooch up to a wall and lay down on the floor and swing your legs up onto the wall!!! Or if you have a bed next to a wall, lay on the bed and bring your bottom right up to the wall and swing the legs up. I stand a lot and love this move! I do it for a few minutes, while brushing my teeth at night. Would love to hear what the guys say too!! Have a happy new year!! 🎆
@@melodythemassagetherapist6957 thank you so much.
Will try it.
Was told also to put my feet in warm salted water. What do you think ?
Happy new year to all 💐
@@fadumohiray5714 yes epson salts pulls out toxins! Can’t hurt!!! I just always forget about epson salts!! If you have time, Might as well take a whole bath!! 2 cups of epson salts and 1 cup of baking soda! Not sure what the baking soda does, but it helps!!! 🙂 hope your legs and feet feel better!!
@@melodythemassagetherapist6957 many thanks @Melody The Massage Therapist. Appreciate your help !!
:’D I use the schools laptop for online class but I will defiantly make my screen higher thank you!
I've been using my old school books to prop them up! hahah!
I feel a lot of pain in the shoulder I get, is if my elbow is without support.
My question is? I do a lot of crafts, Cross Stitch, Knitting and Crocheting, so my neck is always down.
What should I do to help prevent strain.
Which video of yours should I watch.
Thank you! I enjoy learning from your videos 🙂
Ive found knitting with a pillow in the lap helps my neck a bit
@@HajraG Thanks
Bob and brad you need to make one for mobile gaming! I see kids literally getting very close to their phones etc
You guys are the best thank you
thanks y'all
What's best physio for lower back spasm and tight chronic muscles guarding from facet joint arthritis and old injury. I will check other videos.
Great advice!
What about front hip/pelvic/iliac pain when standing up from a seated position? The first number of steps are brutal and then get a bit better, until I sit down again and the cycle repeats itself over and over. Having plantar issues on the opposite foot makes for very unstable mobility. I could really use some tips!
Very useful advises, greetings fom Mexico. :)
Thank you!
Your videos are always helpful for just about everyone. My lower legs are too short to put anything on my lap without everything sliding off. Any suggestions?
Also, I've had MS for 18 years and turned 47 on December 23rd. Over time, my body has been through tons of things, causing me to feel decades older.
Many of your videos can help us but not all. I'm wondering if you'd be willing to create content for my community but there's also many other communities that by doing certain videos you do that might cause more problems doing things how you show vs seeing how to modify them and get the same, similar, or you advise there's no modification available so they shouldn't do it or ask their own PT, trainer, Neurologist, massage therapist, etc.
THANK YOU! Really helpful.
Here's a good exercise for computer pain: Lift your laptop in one hand and raise it over your shoulder, or as far back as possible - a half 'W". With the other arm/hand, open the window...........then let it rip. If we threw these lousy computers as far as we can, our lives would be better for it.
Merry Christmas Bob and Brad.
What about us students reading books and writing? Is there a way how to do it while keeping a good posture?
And teachers giving feedback on paper!
I always read/ study in bed 😂
Working long hours on my laptop resulted in terrible back pain. I went to my physical therapist who said the laptop computers are helping pay for their kids’ college expenses. A huge number of people have back pain. I followed my pt’s advice, which matched B & B’s, and pain disappeared. 👍👍
Thank you, I think I need to order a keyboard now and use a lap desk!
Loved the video! A comment on the W-exercise and the letter W:
Brad, your thought that the letter W, "double-U" really should be a "double-V" is a reality in several languages!
In many Germanic languages (for instance Danish, Norwegian, Swedish), as well as in languages derived from Latin (like Italian and Romanian), and even in Finno-Ugric languages (like Finnish and Hungarian) the letter W is referred to as a "double V".

I would recommend using eye drops when you start getting eye strain. I've noticed the problem usually is from trying to look left and right quickly with dry eyes. Also decreasing the brightness well below 100%. I keep most of my laptops at 0% and only turn it up when I'm in bright areas.
Blink. The screen causes us to stare and loose track of time, leading to dry, strained eyes.
Use the same stretch intervals for eye exercises.
Brightness as you described, and be aware of the contrast between the screen and what is behind it.
You guys are great! Thank you!
Perfect for covid season
My “ample buttocks” thanks you
I came here to say the same. 😅
Invest in a separate monitor for work laptops. Lifesaver
so true!
Love your videos (REALLY I DO) but every time I hear the word "heigth" I twinge.... It's HEIGHT, not heigth... just sharing. AGAIN, YOU'RE VIDEOS ARE GREAT.
Thanks!
What about knee pain from sitting too long? I know three women in my office that have knee pain if they sit too long.
You can try this video for the knee pain: ua-cam.com/video/I3kqJrSe_3g/v-deo.html
Thank you! A very timely video for me. Could you let me know the name of the thing that the wireless keypad sits on? Brad called it "one of these" at 3:51. I would like to purchase one of these.
It’s not a brand name item or anything, it’s just called a lap desk.
@@Heyitskatiekindred Thanks for letting me know that it is called a lap desk. It makes shopping for one a lot easier.
How about book reading?
The current seats are as ergonomic as a straitjackets, they fit people as long as they stay still!
Is a standing desk conversion a worthwhile idea?
Enjoyed the video!,
The computer chair over 5-10 years is capable of insidiously inflicting very serious damage upon your body. It's happened to me, and I even seen healthy people becoming almost incapacitated.
So any advice is to be welcomed. The earlier it's heeded the better. It really is sneaky the way the harm creeps up on you. Your wrists, your arms, your neck, your shoulders, your lower back, your legs, your ankles, your feet. Not easy to reverse either.
My back and chest kills me daily because I’m at a desk or scanner while working. When I try to stretch out it makes my chest hurt more. At this point I feel like I need a daily trip to the chiropractor 🥴
Ouch
Any tips for studying and reading/taking notes. I tend to hunch over my books as time goes on
I will add this to our to do list and see what we can come up with !
my problem during this lockdown is i am spending 15hrs daily sitting in front of the computer , so my spine has become compressed and through lack of movement my knees and feet have become swollen , gotta move more
Super great tips!!!! Sharing!! Happy new year!🎆
I want video for atlas correction . Plzzz

There is no 'th' at the end of the word 'height. Brad pronounced it incorrectly. Say 'hite' and you will be correct
I came here with a broken heart :(
Putting your wireless keyboard into your lap exposes your genitals to Ghz frequency.
