Why does my back hurt even more since I started working from home?
Inappropriate equipment, the lack of natural breaks, and the stress of the work/life boundary combine to create muscle tension factors that are absent in an office setting. The INRS estimates that 73% of remote workers suffer from aggravated MSDs.
How many breaks should you take per hour to avoid pain?
A 1 to 2 minute break every 45 to 60 minutes is enough. The goal is to break the static sitting position — even 30 seconds standing reduces disc pressure by 30%.
Which chair to avoid back pain when working from home?
A chair with adjustable lumbar support, adjustable height, and a seat slightly tilted forward. In the absence of an ergonomic chair, a rolled towel placed in the lumbar curve serves as temporary support.
Is this sleeve suitable for pain related to repetitive movements such as using a computer mouse?
Yes, it is one of the most common indications. Prolonged use of the mouse causes repetitive micro-traumas in the tendons of the wrist, forearm, and right elbow.
Does the ACU-DO Arm Sleeve help with epicondylitis?
Yes. Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) is an inflammation of the elbow's epicondyle. The TCM points of the Large Intestine and Small Intestine meridians, located along the arm and elbow, are directly associated with this area. The ACU-DO sleeve continuously stimulates these points to reduce inflammation and support tendon recovery.
What is the difference between the Right Arm Sleeve and the D+G Pack?
The Right Arm Sleeve covers only the right arm. If your pain is bilateral (both arms) or if you want to do symmetrical prevention, the D+G Pack includes both sleeves and is more economical than two separate purchases.
Does the ACU-DO Ankle Pack help with water retention?
Yes. The MTC acupuncture points targeted by the ACU-DO bracelet are directly linked to lymphatic circulation and the regulation of bodily fluids. Regular stimulation of these points helps reduce localized water retention in the ankles and calves. A minimum daily wear time of 30 to 60 minutes is recommended for good results.
The ankle bracelets were designed for people who spend a lot of time standing or walking in place.
Can the ACU-DO Ankle Pack relieve menstrual pain?
Yes. One of the targeted points, RP6 (Spleen-Pancreas 6), located four finger widths above the inner ankle bone, is one of the most commonly used TCM points to relieve menstrual pain and abdominal cramps. The ACU-DO Ankle bracelet is designed to stimulate this point automatically. In case of pregnancy, consult your doctor before use.
How long should the ACU-DO Ankle bracelets be worn each day?
A minimum of 30 to 60 minutes per session is recommended to activate a response from traditional Chinese medicine, with a time limit of 3 hours per day maximum if needed. The bracelets can be worn during light activity (sitting position, light walking) or at rest.
