ESK
Standing for too long can cause you to run out of energy quicker and can take a toll on your physical comfort. Many medical professionals recommend adjustable desks for workplace environments, so employees can spend a large amount of their day standing or stretching, with the opportunity to
rest when they become tired. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?
When sitting, make sure that you are sitting tall, as if a string is pulling through the top of your head. Your computer should be directly in front of you, instead of off to the side. It should also be at the height where the top one-third of the screen is at eye level. Furthermore, make sure your keyboard is at the adequate height, creating about a 90-degree bend or less in your elbows. Armrests can be helpful in alleviating pressure on the shoulders when typing.
