Do you pay attention to your sitting posture? Whether working, studying, or relaxing, prolonged sitting can quietly harm your health even with a high-quality ergonomic chair, if your posture is poor. Many assume the most comfortable posture is correct, but that’s often the opposite! Poor posture can lead to headaches, dizziness, thoracic outlet syndrome, herniated discs, lower back pain, poor leg circulation, and swelling。. This article will teach you how to maintain proper and ideal posture!

Keep monitor at eye level

正確坐姿

The height of your monitor determines your eye level. Ideally, your line of sight should be level with the top of the screen, at a distance of about arm’s length (50-70 cm). This allows you to look at the screen’s center with a slight 10-15° downward tilt, avoiding strain on the cervical spine. This prevents forward head posture, reduces neck pressure, and lowers the risk of neck pain or stiffness from prolonged work. Maintaining this eye angle helps preserve the spine’s natural curve, reduces long-term spinal damage, and enhances visual comfort while reducing eye fatigue.

Rest your feet flat on the floor

Set the chair height so your feet rest flat on the floor or a footrest, with knees bent at slightly more than 90° and hips level with knees. This reduces pressure on the legs and hips, promotes blood circulation, and minimizes muscle fatigue and discomfort from prolonged sitting. When feet are firmly grounded, body weight is evenly distributed, reducing strain on the lower limbs. A knee angle slightly over 90° relaxes thigh muscles and prevents restricted blood flow. Keeping hips and knees level maintains the pelvis’s natural position, reducing stress on the spine and lower back.

Make sure your back can lean on the backrest completely

Ensure the seat depth allows your hips to sit fully back, with your back against the chair’s backrest, maintaining the spine’s natural “S” curve. This is key to an ergonomic sitting posture. It supports the spine, reduces lower back pressure, and prevents muscle soreness or spinal discomfort from prolonged sitting. Sitting fully against the backrest stabilizes your center of gravity, preventing slouching or forward leaning while maintaining the lumbar spine’s natural curve to reduce joint stress. If the seat depth is insufficient, use a lumbar cushion or rolled towel to fill the gap between your lower back and the chair, ensuring proper lumbar support.

Make sure your arms and forearms can form a 90° angle

Adjust the desk and armrest height so your arms and forearms form a roughly 90° angle, with wrists straight and comfortably resting on the keyboard or mouse. This setup reduces strain on shoulders, neck, and wrists, preventing muscle fatigue or joint discomfort from prolonged work. The ideal desk height should place the keyboard and mouse near elbow level, keeping forearms parallel to the desk and preventing excessive wrist bending or twisting to lower the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome. Armrests should align with the desk height, allowing arms to rest naturally without shrugging or overexerting shoulders, thus reducing neck and upper back tension.

Move & stretch

Stand up and do simple stretches every 30 to 60 minutes like slow head rotations, shoulder shrugs, waist twists, or arm stretches. These activities prevent muscle stiffness and discomfort from prolonged sitting, promote blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, and reduce pressure on the spine, joints, and muscles from fixed postures.

Additional support

If the chair doesn’t fully meet your needs, use a footrest or lumbar cushion to optimize posture and reduce back pain. If the computer or office chair includes a footrest, it allows users to fully relax during breaks. The OSIM uErgoh features an S-shaped lumbar support and adjustable headrest, providing excellent support for the lower back and neck. uErgoh also includes a retractable footrest, enabling complete relaxation when reclining during breaks.
