Posture check! Take a minute to evaluate your workspace and ensure it won’t be causing you pain down the line.
- If seated, are your knees level with your hips and feet flat on the floor?
- Are your wrists neutral, elbows close to your body, and shoulders relaxed?
- Is your lower back supported by your chair?
- Is the top of your computer monitor at or just below eye level?
Try to alternate between sitting and standing throughout the workday, and don’t forget to take breaks to move your body!
