From 2019 to 2012, our school collected a total of 539 musculoskeletal symptom questionnaires from the on-site health service. Among them, 162 people (30.5%) reported pain in more than one area, 34 people (21%) reported pain duration within 1 month, 29 people (17.9%) reported pain duration between 1 and 3 months, 21 people (13.0%) reported pain duration between 3 and 6 months, 31 people (19.1%) reported pain duration between more than 6 months and 1 year, 8 people (4.9%) reported pain duration between 1 and 3 years, and 37 people (22.8%) reported pain duration for more than 3 years. The top three areas of pain were the head and neck, right hand to upper arm, and lower back. The average pain score was 2.37 points, and the median score was mostly between 2 and 3 points. The worst pain score was 4 points. Most of the faculty and staff who have been in pain for more than 3 years have sports injuries or old illnesses. A small number of them cannot describe the pain, which is suspected to be related to poor posture.
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are quite common and serious among workers both at home and abroad. According to statistics from 2001 to 2011, they account for 85-88% of all diseases covered by labor insurance. It is generally believed that there are five main causes of work-related musculoskeletal disorders: prolonged excessive force, high repetitive movements, vibration, low temperatures, and poor working postures. Among these five causes, only poor working posture is easier to improve, while the other four causes are difficult to change easily. Poor working posture can easily cause pain, fatigue and disease in the neck, shoulders, waist, wrist and other joints. Domestic research points out that musculoskeletal fatigue and injuries can be relieved through rest and simple exercises. For shoulder and neck pain, bursitis, tendinitis, tenosynovitis, and lesions at the tendon attachments, it is recommended to avoid long periods of fixed posture, set an alarm every half an hour to an hour to walk around or move around and do 5 to 10 minutes of flexibility exercises, or do warm-up exercises before work and cool-down exercises after work. This can promote blood circulation, increase muscle flexibility and prevent injuries.

The World Health Organization recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week. Fifteen minutes of exercise a day can extend your life by three years. As long as you do exercises in the morning and afternoon every day, you can easily get the weekly amount of exercise and prolong your life. According to the National Health Administration's 2012 National Workplace Health Promotion and Tobacco Prevention Survey, only 16.8% of employees sleep for an average of more than 150 minutes per week, including 18.9% for men and 15.1% for women. In order to encourage employees to develop a daily exercise habit, the National Health Administration has developed a 15-minute "Healthy Exercise for Office Workers" to increase exercise intensity and time. It encourages workplaces to provide employees with time for exercise, which can not only relieve stress and reduce shoulder and neck pain, but also consume excess calories to achieve the effect of promoting physical health.
