The Cost of Poor Ergonomics
Sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day can lead to 'Text Neck' and chronic tension headaches. Modern ergonomics can save your spine.
Monitor Height
Your eyes should align with the top third of the screen. Looking down for hours puts massive pressure on the cervical discs.
Elbow Positioning
Keep your elbows at a 90-degree angle. This prevents shoulder shrugging and reduces strain on the Trapezius muscles.
Lumbar Support
Your chair should follow the natural curve of your lower back. If it doesn't, use a small pillow or lumbar roll.
