  • Take regular breaks away from your computer.
  • Let your wrists rest on the desk in a neutral position, using a comfortable pad to avoid flexing or extending your wrist for too long.
  • Keep your shoulders and back relaxed. Do not slouch.
  • Sit with your computer screen at eye level and your knees slightly lower than your hip joints.
  • Have your computer in front of you rather than at the side, where you have to crane your neck.
  • Let your feet sit flat on the floor, not tucked under your chair.
