Tips to working more comfortably

Even if you have just purchased an office chair that provides you with extra comfort and back support, there are still things you can do to improve your posture and ensure you are sitting comfortably while at work.

If you have to sit in a chair all day working on a computer then it is imperative that you look after yourself to ensure that you have no long lasting bad habits. Here are just a few tips to help you while at work:

• Be sure to sit in a comfortable position near to the desk, and make sure that you don’t keep twisting or reaching too far ahead of you.
• Try continually changing your posture so you are not in the same position for too long at any time.
• Ensure that your back is well supported in the chair.
• When you are not typing, a palm rest and wrist support can come in really handy.
• Do not use the desk edge to support your palms and wrists, remembering to always keep your wrists straight.
• You may want to get a foot and leg support if you cannot find a comfortable height to place your office chair.
