Headache Relief At the Office
1. Hydration
Keep a water bottle at your desk and sip water throughout the day. If a headache starts, drink a glass of water (250 ml) immediately. Dehydration is common in office settings due to air conditioning and long hours at the desk, so aim for regular hydration.
2. Eye Strain Relief (Palming Technique)
Rub your hands together to generate warmth, then gently cover your closed eyes with your palms, without applying pressure. Hold this position for 1-2 minutes, breathing deeply. This helps relax the eye muscles, especially after screen use.
3. Stretching and Posture Correction
Sit upright, align your spine, and slowly tilt your head to one side, holding the stretch for 20-30 seconds. Switch sides. Roll your shoulders forward and backward, releasing built-up tension. Perform these stretches every 1-2 hours to prevent stiffness and tension headaches.
4. Deep Breathing Relaxation Exercise
