Posture, Ergonomics, and Everyday Life
Practical, non-preachy guidance on posture — at the desk, on the phone, and in the car.
Posture is not a single 'correct' position — it is the range of positions your body can comfortably hold and move through. Small adjustments to your workspace and habits often matter more than any single ideal posture.
The best posture is often described as your next posture. Bodies are designed to move, and long static positions — good or bad — tend to create discomfort over time.
- Ears roughly over shoulders, shoulders over hips.
- Screen at eye level so the neck stays neutral.
- Move at least once every 30 to 45 minutes.
Note
For phones and tablets
Bring the device up to your eyes rather than dropping your neck down to the device. Small adjustments made consistently add up.
