Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best ergonomic practices for office workers?

Office workers should position monitor screens at eye level, keep wrists in a neutral position while typing, and adjust chair height so feet rest flat on the floor with knees bent at a comfortable angle. Regularly taking micro-breaks to stretch and alternating between sitting and standing tasks helps relieve spinal pressure and reduces repetitive strain throughout the workday.
