Ergonomics

Correct ergonomic setup at your desk is a fundamental component to ensure you are keeping your body happy during the long hours spent in front of the computer. It doesn’t mean an essential need for a standing desk, just setting your chair, keyboard, mouse and monitor up to allow your body to be in the least strained positions as possible. It does not negate the need for regular movement and change of positions - really you should do some sort of movement every 20-30 minutes. Look at your set up right now and see if these key points are ticked. 

1. Feet flat on the floor 

2. Elbows at 90° 

3. Top of monitor at eye level

If not and you feel like you need some extra help, Physiotherapist Juliet can come by your desk during your physiotherapy appointment to adjust anything that may need changing.  She’s seeing staff every Thursday afternoon in the Therapy Room
