Perfect Your Posture: Sitting at Your Desk

Sitting right can make all the difference! Check out these essential tips for maintaining proper posture at your desk. Your back will thank you!

1 - Importance of Good Posture:

Good posture helps prevent back pain, neck strain, and fatigue, leading to better focus and productivity.

2 - Key Tips for Sitting Correctly:

• Chair Position:
  • Sit all the way back in your chair to support your lower back.
• Feet Placement:
  • Keep your feet flat on the ground or on a footrest, with knees at hip level or slightly lower.
• Monitor Height:
  • Position your monitor so that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level to reduce neck strain.
• Keyboard and Mouse:
  • Keep your keyboard and mouse close enough that your elbows are at a 90-degree angle and your wrists are straight.
• Back Support:
  • Use a lumbar roll or cushion to support the natural curve of your lower back.

3 - Adjustments:

If you’re feeling discomfort, take a moment to readjust your chair, desk, or monitor height.

4 - Breaks and Movement:

Set a timer to remind yourself to stand, stretch, and move around every 30-60 minutes to promote circulation and reduce tension.
