Fix Your Desk, Save Your Spine: The Ultimate Ergonomic Workstation Guide
Is your desk set-up secretly ruining your posture?
With many of us glued to screens for hours, poor workstation habits are a major cause of neck, shoulder, and back pain. An ergonomically optimised workspace is not just a luxury, it’s essential for maintaining spinal health and overall well-being.
At Health Spot Randwick, we see these issues daily and fixing them often starts with how you sit.
Chair Check: The Base of Good Posture
- Choose a swivel chair with five legs & proper stability.
- Feet flat on the ground (use a footrest if needed).
- Knees level with hips, back straight, shoulders relaxed.
- Add a small cushion for lower back support if needed.
🖥️ Monitor Magic: Eye-Level is Non-Negotiable
- Screen an arm’s length away.
- Top of the monitor at or slightly below eye level.
Bifocal wearers: lower the screen to avoid tilting your head back.
Keyboard & Mouse: Aligned for Comfort
- Forearms close to horizontal, wrists straight.
- Elbows tucked in, keyboard & mouse directly in front of you.
- Keep your setup neutral to prevent strain.
🔄 Keep Moving: Don’t Sit Still Too Long
- Change posture often.
- Take short movement breaks every 30–45 mins.
- Hydrate to encourage regular get-ups.
Stretch your neck, shoulders, wrists, back, and ankles daily.
Ergonomic improvements are a great start, but if discomfort persists, professional care is key.
At Health Spot Randwick, we offer:
- Chiropractic for alignment
- Remedial massage for muscle tension
- Acupuncture for stress & recovery
