Workplace Ergonomics

MAKE SURE YOUR WORKPLACE IS WORKING FOR YOUR BACK!

Consider making these changes to your workplace to improve your spinal health.

  • Consult with your company’s ergonomics expert, if available. Request a standing desk or yoga ball to strengthen your core and increase your spinal health.
  • Adjust your computer screen and chair so that the center of your computer screen is at eye level.
  • Adjust your desk height to allow your forearms to rest comfortably at a 90-degree angle.
  • Work with your feet flat on the floor and your back against the chair.
  • Stand up and stretch every hour (use your phone or computer alarm as a reminder!).
