Let’s review the top points of setting up your workstation with the health of your body as a priority: Both feet are supported by the floor or footrest. Knees are in line with, or slightly lower than, hips. Sitting on or slightly in front of sit bones.Start with making the conscious effort to maintain an upright position with your shoulders back and your neck upright (your chin should be making a 90 degree angle with your neck). Once you have gotten that position down, you will start to notice what items in your workstation need modifying.
To help with this, sit with your butt all the way up against the back of the seat and place a small, firm cushion in the hollow area of your lower spine where your back naturally sways. 2. Bend.Make sure your knees can fit comfortably under the desk without bumping into it.
If you cannot adjust your chair and desk enough accommodate a proper arm position, consider the use of a keyboard tray or alternative keyboards (adjustable tilt and keypad angles).Keep your pelvis neutral with your buttocks against the back of your chair. Proper sitting posture at a desk begins at your pelvis. You want to sit with your pelvis in a neutral position, with your buttocks against the back of the chair.
You might be wondering how do I sit with a neutral pelvis?Change your posture regularly. Regardless of how healthy your work posture is, sitting in any one position for an extended period is not healthy. If you have an adjustable chair, alternate between the following positions, all of which will keep your pose neutral and relaxed: Sit upright.
Keep your torso roughly vertical, your thighs horizontal, and your lower legs vertical.Stand up and go to get a drink, take a toilet break or just walk up and down the corridor, then sit back in your ‘good posture’ position. You should also consider walking or standing meetings, and aim to take your lunch break away from your desk, incorporating a brisk walk. You will find that the more you move the better you concentrate.Your upper legs should be flat against the bottom of the chair.
Your lower legs should form a 90 degree angle at the knees. Your feet should be at a flat 90 degree angle to your lower legs. Your back should be at between 100 and 135 degrees in relation to your legs (if possible).Ask a colleague to take a picture of you at your workstation and check to see if it supports well-aligned posture (eyes looking straight, neck not bent, forearms parallel to the floor, low back in its natural curve). If not, talk to your human resources contact for help if needed.
Follow the 20/20/20 rule.To help adjust your posture to your laptop or your monitor, you may consider changing your screen height to eye-level by lowering your office chair or investing in a monitor stand. Alternatively, you can invest in a sit-stand converter to elevate your office to a more optimal posture.1. Posture at Work Tips. Let’s start with some basic posture tips.

Well sorry but I disagree with this. I hope folks watching will also check out “The best way to sit at your desk at work.” for an alternative view.
As Bob and Brad point out their way (90 degree angle) is difficult to maintain for more than about 20 minutes. One suggests getting up as often as every 10. For most of us that’s impractcle at best or even not realistically possible (as in my case).
The reason why you DON’T want to be at a perfect 90 degree angle is because you WILL slouch forward to release strain on the lower back. The reason you DO want the backrest to allow you to recline a bit is because the backrest is then doing some of the work supporting the weight of your back.
Cheers.

As an Uber driver my posture driving all day was like a hunch on my back, It felt like i am carrying a load on my back and can’t get rid of severe back pain. My friend recommendd me smart posture corrector and i was like wtf is that. I was really skeptical at first an was pretty sure all these crap things dont work.and he forced me to get one it was $70 and i can not explain how much i thank him everytime i see him he just save me form a really bad posture and back pain. it was like a bird got a freedom from his cage lol. It was not like a traditional brace but its a smart brace with a sensor in it which vibrates when ever you slouch and reminds you to keep your self straight. The best part is that it blends well with my clothes and I don’t have to feel like I have something sticking out in my back. Get yours today. You won’t regret it. I know I didn’t.

Hello I have a question
In case of study most of the table height and chair height are fixed. So if we want to see text we must move foreward the head in real situation. So what can i do in that case.
P.s I am not native speaker(korean) so sentance maybe awkward.
Love your comments “Teach your kids good posture”. Love the mood and demo great job. Have been looking around for lower back stiffness issues that I know are a mix of 1) sitting longer hours, 2) bad *mattress (my situation), 3) just not investing enough time/effort to understand the posture and it’s affect on productivity. You guys make solid points. Please keep doing more lots of love and respect!
(PS the 2 people combo works great and thanks for keeping it to the point in a wonderful way again)
the problem for me trying to fix my posture is that all those tiny little muscles that have become weak over time tire out extremely quickly and it feels incredibly uncomfortable to hold a good postural position. it honestly feels like im not sitting correctly, but thats just because all those tiny muscles are being worked for the first time in ages. it’s honestly a huge piss of as its so easy to default back to bad posture because its more comfortable at that given moment.
Being completely straight long term puts a lot of pressure on your spine discs.. you need to prop you lumbar like they are showing but also tilt you chair back to relieve some of the pressure from complete downward line… otherwise like they said, you are going to hold it only for 15-25 minute tops. So sit straight, prop you lumbar, tilt your chair.. and remember that sitting in ANY position is not good for you.. it will in time decrease your muscle volume and then you will get all kinds of problems like fast heartbeat, vertigo, even fainting and “moving vertebrae” where you risk injury with rapid movements in this stage.
Great video, thanks! What do you guys think of kneeling chairs for posture?

when you sit in your ergonomic chair should your back be completely on it and lined up or should you straighten out your posture a little bit and keep your back mostly alligned.
