Ensure the height of your chair is correct The position of your screen When you sit in your chair, your thighs should be parallel with the ground, ensuring your knees are even with your hips. Your elbows and forearms should be parallel to the ground too, resting on your desk. Your feet must be resting on the floor. If this is not the case then adjust the height of your chair. How you can support your back There are lots of ergonomic desk chairs you could invest in which are specifically designed to support good posture, however if your work place hasn’t invested in these or you work from home and don’t have one, there are several things you could try to compensate. You could roll up a small towel or pillow and place it between the back rest and your lower back and this will pro- vide some lumber support and help you maintain good pos- ture. Specifically designed lumber pillows are also available to buy. Your screen should be an arm’s length away and the top of the screen should be at eye level. Simply lifting the screen by placing books underneath it if you don’t have an adjusta- ble monitor can help avoid neck and eye strain. Ensure your keyboard is positioned correctly Your keyboard should sit directly in front of your computer with 4 to 6 inches between the edge of your keyboard and the desk so your wrists have room to rest whilst you type. Some mouse mats have wrist supports which can help avoid wrist strain.
