Working long days at your desk and computer can often lead to tight shoulders and neck and sore backs.  Try these easy office chair tweaks to help protect yourself from those workplace aches!

•  Chair height – set you chair height so you can use your computer keyboard with your wrists and forearms level with the floor and your arm forms an L-shape from the elbow

• Chair back position – set the tilt of the chair to support the curve of your lower back, scoot your bum back into the chair so your knees are just lowered than your hips

• Foot Position – make sure your feet can rest flat on the floor, or get a foot rest to make sure they are flat

• Don’t sit for too long – try and get up as often as possible.  I know you’re busy but short regular breaks to move around will do your back and shoulders wonders.
