6 simple steps to a good sitting posture while working
Poor posture (e.g. slumped shoulders, protruding neck and curved spine) is the culprit of physical pain that many office workers experience.
Are you wondering how to improve posture while at your desk?
Firstly buy the right chair, and then follow these simple steps:
1. Adjust the chair height so your feet are flat on the floor and your knees are in line (or slightly lower) with your hips.
2. Sit up straight and keep your hips far back in the chair.
3. The back of the chair should be somewhat reclined at a 100- to 110-degree angle.
4. Ensure the keyboard is close and directly in front of you.
5. To help your neck stay relaxed and in a neutral position, the monitor/screen should be directly in front of you, with the top of the monitor/screen at the same height as your eye level.
6. Sit at least 20-24 inches away from the monitor/screen (ideally arms length, with the screen at the tips of finger when sitting back in your chair)
