Any suggestions out there, or sites with some tips about this? Thanks in Advance Teck Think Computer ergonomics. works the same. I find I need to get up and stretch every now and again. Shoulder blade pain usually means you're tensing up. There was a discussion a while back on this if you do a search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhurt Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I would agree with what doc said 100%. It could also be were you are position on your chair, if your back not straight then there is unnessassary tension in your back. Maybe look at getting a better chair.

Guest Dennis59 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Could also be hight. If the vise is up to high your holding your arms up higher than normal. This causes stress on the upper back and shoulders. I've lowered my vise and find it much more comfortable. Tight Lines Always.

Teck71 Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 could be, I'll keep that inmind while i shop for a chair, tonight. Thanks Teck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis S I agree with this for me at least.....my set up is lower than anyone else that I've seen and for a portable vise I have the adjustable post Norvise as it gives me added flexiblity as to height. For a chair I use a backed bar stool as most chairs will have me sitting too low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep your arms low and the pain between your shoulder blades will disapear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfishfairwx Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Top of the vise should be about "Nipple height, I find this is the right height for the elbows to be held low and the hands at the right place.. I listen to Records, about 30 minutes of music and then you have to get up to change the album to the other side.. Try a Task chair with out arms, this will allow you to get closer to your vise, if you use an executive chair with arms you may not be able to get close enough to the vise, and have to lean forward.. Flytyer.. I also use a Nor-vise just got and it is great,it has allowed me to get more done per side of record.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 smoke a fatty and sit in more of a fetal position. Arms not too high or low and pull your chair close to the table to support your back. or fix your posture, i sure any grand mother can nag you into that.
