Small adjustments to your workstation can reduce strain, improve focus, and help you get through the day feeling better.

Start with these three essentials:
• Seating and surface height that support natural arm positioning and steady footing
• Screen placement that keeps your head neutral and shoulders relaxed
• Input tools arranged to keep hands and forearms comfortable

A few intentional tweaks can make a noticeable difference in how your body feels during and after work.

It’s why therapeutic exercise is the foundation of all successful physical rehabilitation.
