Workplace Ergonomics

Fun fact: The average person spends up to 12 hours a day sitting. This includes sitting at work, commuting, meals, TV time, you get the picture. Prolonged sitting is known to be associated with chronic neck and back problems. This is compounded by multiple factors, with one of them being workplace ergonomics!

General set up of your work station set up would ideally be:

▶️ Distance to screen about full arm’s length

▶️ Top of the screen at eye level

▶️ Back rest reclined 10-20 degrees

▶️ Forearms horizontal to desk with shoulder’s relaxed

▶️ Knees at about 90 degrees. Give it a go and let us know how you go! Our caring and friendly Chatswood or North Sydney Physio Team would love to help you out, so reach out to us if you have any questions.
