At Work
Working at a desk often takes a toll on our posture, but it doesn’t have to. With the right tools and knowledge, you can stay aligned, comfortable, and pain-free.
This is the exact photo I use in the clinic when educating my patients!! What I want you to notice is all of the right angles. Our head is directly over our pelvis, and our knees are same height as pelvis. This creates the first 90 deg angle. The sec... We now use our chairs, desk, props etc to set us up in this position- it's unrealistic to think you will just sit perfect like that unsupported.
Office ergonomics: Your how-to guide - Mayo Clinic
In order to have our pelvis in the correct position under our head, we have to sit up on our “butt bones" (those 2 pointy ones you notice when a boney little kid sits on your lap!). Most of us sit either: Butt tucked under, or “perched” on the edge o... We want to sit all the way back in the chair, on this wedge, with a slight lean forward towards keyboard. (*this is also great in a car!)
CanDo Sitting Wedge Active Seat Wobble Cushion
Many of us are too short for our desk chairs. How can you tell? When you slide your butt all the way back in the chair, as far as it will go, can your feet touch flat on the floor? If the answer is no, get yourself a foot rest! You could just as easi...
StrongTek Ergonomic Under Desk Footrest
In a perfect world, we’d all have adjustable tables that fit our unique height and let us switch between sitting and standing whenever we want. Not only does it make working more comfortable, but it also helps with posture, reduces strain on your bac...
FEZIBO 48x24 Inch Electric Standing Desk
A wireless mouse is a game-changer—you can keep your elbow relaxed at your side while you scroll, without worrying about cords getting tangled up in all the random stuff on your desk.

An arm support can make a big difference! It’s natural to lean on your arm, and without a good option, we end up using the desk or armrests the wrong height. This one gives your arm the perfect spot to rest while you scroll—way more comfortable and b...
Arm Rest For Desk
I honestly don’t think there’s a perfect ergonomic chair for anyone. Even the adjustable ones are built for the “average” body—which, let’s be real, none of us actually have. But if I had to recommend one, it’d be this one—just look at how well it al...
Ergonomic Kneeling Chair, Adjustable Stool
Please DO NOT use this as a desk chair. The thought is it will improve your core, but in order for that to happen you have to REALLY CONCENTRATE on your posture, so much so you won't actually get any work done. What ends up happening is we sit on it ...

Posture Improvement Products
There are tons of posture products out there, but honestly, most of them are a waste of money. The best thing you can do for your posture? Stretch and strengthen.
Foam Rollers have become unnecessarily complicated. This is the type we use in the clinic. It's lovely to lie on it vertically, with your head and butt supported, arms out like a “T” after a long day on the keyboard.
Gaiam Essentials High Density Foam Roller
I LOVE this thing for loosening my upper back! Similar to a foam roller but more targeted. It's perfect for that “ugh I totally need to crack my upper back!”
Chirp™ - Simple & Effective Back Pain Relief
Many of us tend to lean our heads forward from our bodies, thanks to all that time spent staring at screensThis can alter our posture and give us tight achey upper neck muscles. I LOVE this little gadget! You lie on your back and it puts pressure aro...
Occipivot | Neck Posture & Therapy - OPTP
My neurologist recommended this to me as a way to relax not only my upper neck but also upper back muscles. You lie on this lobster shaped thing and let it accupressure you into relaxation in all the tight spots. It is not super aggressive. I actuall...
LittleMum Trapezius Trigger Point Massager
This is a super easy, super effective way to stretch your chest (the part that pulls your shoulders forward). You can also lean through a doorway. Keep your head up and lead with your chest as you do it, hold for at least 5 slow breaths.
Doorway Pectoral Stretch (Flexibility) - Saint Luke's
The simplest recipe for good posture: stretch the front of your body (see last card) and strengthen the back. Rows are a lovely way to do this.
