Having the body for it

I've just spent the last two days running my department as my boss, our interactive producer, has gone away for a short break. I have one more day to get through after the long weekend (thank you Australia Day!) as she is back on Wednesday. To say it has been a busy few days is an understatement. I've also been down most of my production team too, who got their holidays approved for the same time which doesn't make sense but I've had to have the head creative developer do the menial flash work so he's had to be taken off the website he's building. It's all about compromise, I am quickly learning!

During my extremely frantic days I've also had to fit in time to visit my physio as I've been having terrible back pain. Mostly related to my workstation in the office but also my poor posture. The workstation has been fixed and the posture is much better and improving with each visit. I haven't had the energy or patience to play any PC games once I come home from work recently.

I've always been careful to set up my PC gaming station in an ergonomic position because I know I will sit at it for hours without moving (unlike work where I know I will move around). But I often wonder what kind of damage it is doing to me; spending all day at work in front of a computer and then coming home and spending a few more hours in front of another one. What do other people do to look after their bodies, namely necks, shoulders, backs and posture in general? It can't be good for stress management? Although I do find a good round of FPS does well to calm me down when I'm tense.
