Tipsof healthy sitting posture. • You should be able to sit comfortably in the chair, using as much of the chair back as possible for support. The lumbar support should fit comfortably into the curve of your lower back, and your feet should be flat on the ground (use a footrest if necessary). The seat pan (the part on which you sit) should be an appropriate size that allows at least one inch between your legs and either side of the chair, and supports your legs without applying pressure to the back of your knees.
Possible workstation cause. • You're typing or keying too long without a break.Overuse can lead to pain - this frequently occurs after you've been keying too fast or for too long without a break. Make sure to take frequent "mini-breaks - these can be as short as 15-30 seconds. Also, consider stretching during this period. See Stretches and Exercises.
Causes of disconfort in the eyes. • You're sitting too close to your monitor. Constantly focusing on close objects without a break can strain your eyes. • You've been working too long without resting your eyes. Your eyes are muscles, too, and need regular breaks to avoid feeling weary from overuse. Every 20 minutes, look at least 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
