It has quite a few perks, too &#8211; you spend less on gas, enjoy flexible working hours, and it can help productivity and comfort. Plus, for a good deal of professionals today, working in an office is far from necessary. People can do their jobs remotely &#8211; all they need is a computer, an internet connection, and a home office.\u00a0<\/p><p>With the current coronavirus pandemic, remote work, or work from home, has become even more widely integrated into the professional infrastructure. However, the issue for both work-at-home veterans and folks who\u2019ve recently been left with no other choice <i>but<\/i> to work from home is setting up an ergonomic home office that won\u2019t leave them with aching joints, back, neck, or wrists.<\/p><p>If you\u2019re experiencing aches or are suddenly slouching from the poorly set up office in your home, you\u2019ll find that there are a couple of adjustments you can make that will help you feel more comfortable and healthy. A lot of the time, it\u2019s not about investing in a fancy new desk or chair, but just about integrating some ergonomic tips related to proper computer posture, the height of your monitor, chair, and desk, and how you can improve your posture overall (read: we\u2019ll definitely talk about yoga at some point).<\/p><h2>What Is Proper Computer Posture?<\/h2><p>Good posture is all about proper body alignment. When you\u2019re sitting down for hours, working on your computer, it\u2019s important to maintain the right posture to avoid aches that can become chronic and haunt you even when you sleep, literally. How many times have you woken because your lower back or your neck hurt?<\/p><p>So &#8211; proper body alignment when working. What does it mean? Essentially, all the lines of your body should be straight rather than curved. They should be in-line, parallel, or perpendicular to each other. So you\u2019d want your head in line with your neck, your neck in line with your back. You\u2019d want your shoulder relaxed on your back, your upper back straight, and your lower back slightly curved (it has its own natural curvature), but still pressed to the chair and supported by lumbar or a pillow. So basically, your hips should also be near the back of the chair, rather than slumped forward.<\/p><p>The thighs ought to be parallel to the floor. Knees over ankles, aligned in a straight line, and feet placed on the floor properly. If your feet are hanging, or barely touching the floor, it can be a problem. Similarly, if your knees are bent more than 90\u00b0, that too can result in aches. Sometimes, this can have a domino effect &#8211; when one body part is placed improperly, it can cause the rest of the body to de-align along with it.<\/p><p>It\u2019s recommended to change your <a href=\"https:\/\/fitforwork.org\/blog\/sitting-all-day-improve-your-posture-for-a-healthy-back\/\">position every 30 minutes or so<\/a> while sitting. However, be mindful that you keep your upper back straight and not end up slouching. You can extend your legs on a footrest every now and then (one that preferably keeps your entire legs parallel to the floor), or sit in a cross-legged position, provided that your desk chair is comfy enough.<\/p><h2>How to Improve Posture<\/h2><p>To improve posture while working, we are going to guide you through how to adjust each element in your work station for elevated comfort and better health. Hopefully, following our tips on how to organize your workstation will help you alleviate any posture-related problems. Overall, it\u2019s important to keep the monitor at eye-level, the body aligned, and your back pressed flat against the back of the chair. No slouching! One good tip that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/live-well\/exercise\/common-posture-mistakes-and-fixes\/\">NHS gives us<\/a> for good posture is to imagine a string attached to the very top of your head which is pulling it up. This will help straighten your neck, as well as relax your shoulders to your back, rather than having them spill out forward of your body. While this is a tip for standing, it stands for sitting down properly, too.<\/p><p>Before we get into the tips on how to adjust your home office furniture, however, it\u2019s worth mentioning that one thing which is necessary to keep your body properly aligned &#8211; other than awareness &#8211; is muscles. Muscles help hold the joints and bones in place. It\u2019s very difficult to have a straight back and proper posture if you haven\u2019t developed any of your back muscles. But don\u2019t worry &#8211; it doesn\u2019t mean that you\u2019re supposed to invest in a home gym, it just means that a bit of workout a few times a week can help you keep your body aligned.<\/p><p>Yoga is one of the best ways to help you achieve good posture. In addition to its numerous mental benefits, <a href=\"https:\/\/osteopathic.org\/what-is-osteopathic-medicine\/benefits-of-yoga\/\">yoga can help you gain flexibility and muscle<\/a>. It\u2019s also very beginner-friendly and adjustable to anyone\u2019s age, weight, or needs. If you don\u2019t already have a routine you like doing, we strongly recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doyogawithme.com\/yoga-classes\">DoYogaWithMe<\/a>. It\u2019s a great website with both free and paid content, which allows you to choose the type of yoga you want to do, which part of the body you want to focus on, and even how much time you want to spend.<\/p><h2>How to Set up Your Home Office Ergonomically<\/h2><h3>Monitor Setup<\/h3><p>Properly setting up your monitor is crucial for keeping your back, neck, and shoulders healthy and ache-free. The ideal posture for your upper body is when your neck and head are vertical, and in line with your back. One of the main issues with home offices is that home desks are usually lower than office desks. And in some cases, people use kitchen tables to do their work, and kitchen tables are also lower than office desks. Luckily, even if your desk isn\u2019t the perfect height (which we\u2019ll get into later), you can still adjust your monitor\u2019s height and tilt for better posture and comfort.<\/p><h4>What Height Should Your Monitor Be?<\/h4><p>Ideally, the top of the monitor\u2019s screen should be at exactly eye level, or slightly below. In terms of how it will feel when you\u2019re viewing your monitor, your head should be upright rather than titled, and when your eyes are viewing the middle of a screen, they would be slightly lowered. If you wear bifocals, you may wish to lower the monitors an additional inch or two, for easier viewing.<\/p><p>The distance from your eyes and the monitor should be 20 inches (i.e. 51 cm), which is approximately the length of an arm. If your screen is larger, or if you\u2019re working on multiple screens simultaneously, you will need to add a bit more distance between your eyes and the monitor(s). You can tilt your screen back 10-20\u00b0 to maintain the distance between it and your eyes, as well as in order to reduce glare.<\/p><p>Now, if you\u2019re working with a separate monitor for your desktop computer, adjusting its height should be easy. If the monitor\u2019s height is non-adjustable, you can add a book (or several books) below its base, until the height is just right.<\/p><p>If you\u2019re working from a laptop, it\u2019s a bit more complicated, as the screen will oftentimes be too low, especially on most home desks or kitchen tables. However, there\u2019s a solution for that too &#8211; and it\u2019s getting an affordable laptop riser (i.e. laptop stand). Alternatively, you can hook up your laptop to an external keyboard and mouse, which you can adjust more easily in order to feel comfortable.<\/p><h3>Desk Setup<\/h3><p>Desk height is optimal when it\u2019s in line with your elbows. So when you place your lower arms on the table, they should both land flat. Your wrists ought to be in line with your elbows, since if your elbows aren\u2019t reaching the desk, you may end up with pain in your wrist joints. If you have your laptop propped up on a stand, make sure that your wrists aren\u2019t constantly strained, as you type on your keyboard upwards. Either adjust the laptop stand not to tire your wrists, or use a separate keyboard.<\/p><p>But you also don\u2019t want your desk to be too high. If your desk is too high, you end up pushing your shoulders up outside our ears, which is a great recipe for shoulder aches. Instead, you should have them relaxed and positioned on your back.<\/p><p>If your desk is too high, raise your chair. To make sure your feet are landing flat once you do that, add a footrest. If your desk is too low, prop it up with some wooden boards or sturdy blocks under the desk legs.<\/p><p>Lastly, you want to make sure that there\u2019s nothing under your desk, which would limit the movement of your legs and make you feel stiff more frequently.<\/p><h3>Chair Setup<\/h3><p>The main thing about a chair is that it can support your spinal curvature properly. This means keeping your upper back straight when you lean back, but allowing some space for the lower back to curve inwards, in its natural position. Some desk chairs allow you to adjust the lumbar support, so as to fit your own body\u2019s needs. If you don\u2019t have the luxury, you can add a separate lumbar pillow or rolled towel to support your lower back.<\/p><p>If you do own a proper office chair, it\u2019s best to recline it to about 100-110\u00b0 as this relieves tension in the spine. If your chair has armrests (lucky!), you can adjust them so that your lower arms can rest on them at a right angle (perpendicularly) to your upper arms. This ensures that your shoulders will be relaxed.<\/p><p>Overall, you should make sure that the chair is adjusted at the appropriate level to your desk, your thighs are parallel to the floor, and that your feet are securely, and fully grounded.. Again, if your feet aren\u2019t reaching the floor properly, use a footrest.<\/p><h3>Additional Gadgets<\/h3><p>If your desk is too hard, you can pad its edges, so that your elbows don\u2019t experience unnecessary pain and tension. As we\u2019ve mentioned numerous times, you can always get a footrest if your feet aren\u2019t reaching the ground properly. And, if you\u2019re using a laptop and experiencing trouble with your neck (due to the level of the monitor) or wrists (because of the tile of the keyboard when you use a laptop riser), you may wish to consider using a separate monitor, keyboard, and mouse for your laptop.<\/p><h2>Last Bit of Advice\u2026<\/h2><p>Here are a couple more tips on how you can take care of your body while working from home:<b><\/b><\/p><ul><li><b>Take breaks.<\/b> Every 30-60 minutes, take a short break by walking around or getting a drink &#8211; coffee, tea or water. If you feel like you need a longer break, you can do yoga and then return to work refreshed.<\/li><li><b>Look away from your screen.<\/b> Try to look away from your screen for 20 seconds every 20 minutes.
