Do you find yourself struggling to sit comfortably at your desk all day? If you had to “score” your posture.. would you be proud of you score?

Why is this important?

Poor Posture Can Lead to:

Sore necks                                     Muscle fatigue

Headaches                                     Poor circulation

Diminished lung function               Rounded shoulders

What can you do to help yourself?

Adjust your comfortable chair to the correct height and back firmness.

Keep your head and neck aligned with your shoulders.

As you type, keep your fingers slightly curved and your wrists as relaxed as possible.

Adjust your monitor to be no further than 18-24 inches from your view.

Keep your feet flat on the ground. Try not to curl the feet under your chair.

Base your workspace on your height, not anyone else’s. If you share a work space…  be sure to adjust each time you return to your desk.
