Whether you are working from home, at the office, or at school your positioning matters! Here are some tips for proper body positioning to reduce neck or back pain! Ergonomics is about how you sit, stand, move, and work throughout the day, and how those positions affect your joints, muscles, and nerves.
Here are some quick and easy adjustments you can make to your work space:
* Sit smart: Hips slightly higher than knees, feet flat on the floor
* Screen level: Monitor at eye level to reduce neck strain
* Upper body alignment: Elbows at ~90°, shoulders relaxed
* Posture awareness: Neutral spine—avoid slouching or excessive arching, think about utilizing a lumbar support pillow
* Movement breaks: Change positions every 30–60 minutes
