Get up frequently – When working at a computer or sitting in front of a TV, get up at least every 30 minutes to walk around for at least one minute. 3. Proper computer setup – Make sure that your computer is at the proper height so the top 1/3rd of the screen is eye level and keyboard is low enough, at or below elbow height. 4. Sitting properly – Keep your feet on the floor, don’t cross your legs and keep a small gap between the back of your knees and the chair. 5. Exercise frequently – walking, running, stretching and strengthening are very important. Strengthen your back muscles to maintain a better posture.
