Adjust the height of your chair so that your forearms are parallel to the floor and there is no contact stress between the edge of the desk and your arms. Your feet should rest on the floor or on a footrest and your hips should be at a 110–120° angle. Ensure that you are sitting back in the chair, and optimally utilising the backrest.

• We are meticulous about the chairs we have on offer, and with good reason.
• Ergonomic chairs, and specifically ergonomic office chairs are all about their adjustability.
• The more your positioning can be refined or changed, the better the likelihood of achieving the ideal position behind your desk.

• Mousepads and wrists rests can assist to improve wrist angle, but also improve placement of tools and decrease contact stress.
