Top Tips for Maintaining Posture at work

Adjust your chair and desk:

Ensure your chair supports your bower back and that your feet are flat on the floor, helping maintain proper spinal alignment, reducing the risk of back pain and fatigue.  Your desk should be at a height where your elbows are at a 90-degree angle to minimize strain on your shoulders and neck, enhancing comfort and productivity.

Take regular breaks:

Stand up, stretch, and move around every hour to prevent stiffness and promote better blood circulation. Regular breaks reduce the risk of musculoskeletal problems associated with prolonged sitting, help maintain energy levels and improved overall focus and productivity.

Hydrate and eat well:

Proper hydration and nutrition can improve your energy levels and over all well-being, making I easier to maintain good posture. Staying well hydrated keeps your muscles and joints functioning optimally, while a balanced diet provides the nutrients necessary for strength and endurance, reducing fatigue and discomfort.

Stay active:

Incorporate exercises like neck rolls, shoulder shrugs and seated leg lifts into your routine to keep your muscles flexible and strong.

Regular activity reduces the likelihood of developing chronic pain, enhances muscle tone, and improves overall physical health, making it easier to maintain good posture.
