  1. ***NOTE! A LOT of people will find it hard to maintain this "ideal" position. There are two ways to address this…
    (i)To begin, keep changing position slightly without straying too far from this position. Movement and variation can help.
    But ask yourself this: WHY is it so difficult to maintain?? Because with poor posture three things happen over time. Spinal joints seize up in poor positions. Some muscles (at the front mainly) shorten and adapt to poor posture. And other muscles become weak.
    (ii) You can maintain good sitting posture quite easily if you work on mobilising, stretching, and strenghtening these key areas.
    These are the kind of postural exercises you can do:

  2. At 1:04 timestamp, I noticed your shoulder position is the same with mine, which is internal rotation. May I know if it's possible at all to completely have the upper back retracted and hence the shoulder not in a internally rotated position? I've been strengthening upper back for a year now, while standing the shoulder is retracted, but when sitting it seems that I can't make them stay retracted. The armrests are also in the lowest position (though it would still be higher than my natural arm resting height when without armrest.

  4. hello sir. I have to do long hours studies for one of my exam. Therefore i have purchased a good ergonomic chair and i made table from one carpenter. But i am facing shoulder pain , knee pain, elbow pain. I have figure it out why i am facing these pains. Actually at maximum height of my chair , my elbow still do not make 90 degree angle because even after removing arm rest of my chair , my chair does not goes at the height of the top of table. This is because my study table has 4 inch under desk drawer which also acts as support and . After watching your video i came to the conclusion that i have to remove that 4 inch under desk drawer but that will decrease the strength of my table. also i need to cut the legs of my table 4 inch so that my chair can reach the top height of table. Please suggest if you have any ideas to solve my problem. How can i send you my table chair image. Sir Could you please connect with me on whats app. There i can show you in picture what problem i am facing since a year. Thank you sir.

  5. Thank you so much for this video. I sit at a desk at least 9 hours a day and I appreciate the notes on posture and alignment. I think that's the part I find I slump into is how my wrists haven't been aligning with my elbows, as if I was torquing it to one side. Elbows in, shoulders over hips. Now all that's left is to elevate these monitors. Cheers!

  6. thank YOU! no better and concise video on the subject! downloading so I won't forget 🙂 There's excellent freeware available that remind one to take breaks, too. I'm using STRETCHLY. Sure, a PITA sometimes, but worth the "annoyance" 🙂 I've been using CAD for architectural designs since '82, and man-ohhh-man, making sure Computer Ergonomics is correct is VITAL to my earning a living!! Good luck and a long and happy life.

  8. You can probably use an adapter for a wired keyboard and mouse if there’s not a port already on your laptop. I say this because of radiation concerns, and also because your connection will be faster and more reliable.
