5.Practice Good Phone Posture
Your shoulder may make a great phone rest when you need to multitask in a pinch. But this posture is a common cause of neck pain and can also contribute to poor alignment in the back. When you need to make a hands-free call, use a shoulder support, headset, or the speaker function on your phone instead.

6.Stand Smart
Standing for long periods can be stressful on your lower back. If you have to stand for work, try placing one foot on a stool or other low object. Then change feet every so often. This will help take the pressure off your lower back. Wearing cushioned shoes or standing on a thick rubber mat can also help relieve pressure when you have to stand for long hours, says Rao.
