Ergo 101 Pro Tips:

  1. Mind Your Posture: Whether sitting or standing, maintain a neutral spine position to alleviate pressure on your back and neck. Remember to adjust your chair and desk height to support proper alignment.

  2. Take Breaks: Incorporate regular breaks into your routine to stretch and move around. Set reminders to stand up, walk, or perform simple stretches to prevent stiffness and improve circulation.

  3. Optimize Workspace: Arrange your workstation to minimize reaching and twisting movements. Keep frequently used items within arm's reach to reduce strain on muscles and joints.

  4. Invest in Ergonomic Accessories: Consider investing in ergonomic peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and wrist rests to support comfortable and efficient workflow.

  5. Stay Hydrated and Nourished: Hydration and nutrition play a crucial role in overall well-being. Keep a water bottle nearby and fuel your body with nutritious snacks to maintain energy levels throughout the day.
