Working at a Desk – Posture Tips



  • Choose office furniture that is ergonomically designed and that fits your body.
  •  Sit with your back against the back of the chair with knees at hip level. Consider using a footrest. A small pillow placed at the lower back can offer needed support.
  • The workstation or desk should be at elbow height. Adjust chair height to meet your need.
  •  Sit with your shoulders straight.
  • Don't slouch or lean forward to view work or the computer monitor. Either move closer to the work or move the work closer to you. Tilt the monitor so the center of the screen is at eye level for easy viewing.
  • Get up, walk tall and stretch often!
