Ergonomic Setup for Back Pain Prevention

Prolonged sitting is one of the biggest contributors to chronic back pain, and a proper ergonomic setup makes a real difference.

Chair height and support

Your feet should rest flat on the floor with knees at roughly hip height, and lumbar support should fill the natural curve of your lower back.

Screen position

Your monitor should sit at eye level to avoid the forward head posture that contributes to both neck and upper back strain.

Movement matters more than the perfect chair

Standing up and moving every 30 to 60 minutes has more impact on back pain prevention than any single piece of ergonomic equipment.
