Are you Sitting at a desk all day? 

Many of us are working from home, sitting all day at a screen. Nobody seems to move as much as they normally do. This is making us stiff, achey and tired. 

Top tips to think about to prevent this 

• You need to move! Regularly! 
• Use a big screen and a separate keyboard 
• Put the screen straight in front of you 
• You should be about arms length from the screen 
• Your eyes should be looking at the upper part of the screen 
• Your chair should fit you. So you can sit using the backrest to support you 
• Armrests should be able to slide under the desk so you can be close to the desk and keyboard or mouse 
• Your arms should be able to rest on the desk 
• Your feet should be on the ground, use a foot rest if not 
• Do you need glasses? Use them! 

Is your room bright enough? Turn on the light!  or Is there a glare? Pull the blind down! 

Look away from the screen every 20 minutes for 20 seconds and blink or focus on a distant point 

• You need to exercise every day 
• Walk or run 
• Stretch. Everybody’s necks, shoulders and upper backs are static. You need to move!
