It only takes a few adjustments...

  • Keep your neck straight.
  • Keep your shoulders relaxed.
  • When typing, keep forearms parallel to the floor and wrists straight.
  • Make sure your back has full contact with the backrest (sit all the way back in your chair)and that your lower back fits into curved lumbar support.
  • Keep your thighs parallel to the floor.
  • Ensure your screen is 15 to 28 inches from your eyes.
  • Keep your screen at eye level or slightly lower.
  • Keep your screen straight ahead with your line of vision.
  • Use a document holder at screen level.
  • Ensure your keyboard is at elbow height.
  • Keep your phone, mouse, and frequently handled material within easy reach.
