Your neck wasn’t designed to spend hours craning over a keyboard or staring down at a phone—yet that’s what modern life often demands. The good news? A few simple changes to your workspace can save your neck (literally) and keep you comfortable all day long.
- Screen at Eye Level: Raise your monitor or laptop so the top of the screen is at eye level. This keeps your head in a neutral position—no more turtle neck!
- Sit Like a Pro: Keep your feet flat on the floor, knees at a 90-degree angle, and your back supported by your chair. Think of your spine as a proud stack of blocks—not a slouchy S-curve.
- Keyboard and Mouse Magic: Position your keyboard and mouse so your elbows are bent at 90 degrees, and your wrists stay straight. Bonus: This setup helps your shoulders and neck relax.
- The 20-20-20 Rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. It’s like a spa break for your eyes and neck.
- Take Movement Breaks: Stand, stretch, and walk around every hour. Your neck loves variety and movement, so don’t make it stay frozen in one position all day.
- Don’t Cradle Your Phone: Use headphones or a headset for calls instead of pinning your phone between your ear and shoulder. Your neck will thank you.
By making these ergonomic tweaks, you’re setting your neck up for success—no more aches, strains, or that dreaded “tech neck.” And if your neck still needs some extra love, we’re just a call away!
