 * Helping Your Body Get Through the Online Workday**

Often when we work online all day, we forget to take breaks in order to stretch our legs, soothe our minds, and ingest food and water. Additionally, we busy professionals are not always "up" on new developments in ergonomic furniture, wrist braces, and other tools and techniques that help our bodies. My presentation focuses upon the busy professional whose greater work duties involve sitting at the computer for hours at a time. I will address and illustrate the risk of strain that is common to the eyes and body parts of professionals such as us. In addition, I will describe affordable products and easily-applied techniques to not only prevent bodily strain and injury but to alleviate whatever conditions people have now.

All Audiences Helping Your Body, PowerPoint and Lecture This session is directed to all educators and support personnel who work at their computers for the main part of the workday.
