Five tips for maintaining good posture when working from work or in an office
A quick guide on how to survive a long day at work!
Our jobs are becoming more sedentary and we spend a significant amount of time in front of our computers, whether we work from home or in an office. As a result, it’s not uncommon to experience back or neck pain at the end of the day.
Lower back and neck pain is frequently caused by minor posture errors. Let’s learn how to improve our habits and reduce these issues.
We have compiled 5 practical tips to help combat the negative effects of prolonged periods of sitting:
01
Don’t forget to keep your back straight and comfortably rested against the backrest! You can also consider using an ergonomic cushion to ease any discomfort in your lower back.
02
It’s important to adjust the chair’s height to your own height. Your knees should form a right angle with your feet flat on the floor.
03
Where should you place your computer screen to prevent neck strain? It’s recommended to position it directly in front of you instead of to the side.
04
Maintaining good posture also involves your arms: the wrist you use for your mouse should always be resting!
05
Take a break: stand up and move your body every 45 minutes by stretching your joints and taking a short walk (just a few minutes).
