Posture, Part 2

Proper fit
First make sure that your work area fits you correctly...

PostureYour chair should give you proper lumbar support and promote a comfortable up-right posture. Your feet should comfortably reach the floor directly in front of you. The height of your chair is relative to your work area and what you are doing, but as a general rule your elbows should be slightly below or up to level with your wrists, not above.

If you have an injury or condition that mandates correct posture in order for you to work without pain, have your work area checked over by someone who specializes in ergonomics to give you a recommendation on what would work best for you.
