Physical Therapy for Office Workers

Many Americans work jobs that require them to be at a desk for the majority of the day. When spending so many hours sitting in one position, it is important to ensure you are setting up your environment to be conducive to maintaining good physical health and aren’t putting unnecessary strain on your body.

When looking at your work environment (either at home or in the office), the main components to work with will be your chair, keyboard position, and computer monitor position. For each, the following criteria should be met:

Office Chair Recommendations 

1. Wheels for increased mobility (5 is recommended)
2. Ability to twist on the base
3. Adjustable height and armrests
4. Ability to sit close to the desk
5. Lumbar support
6. Seat with angle adjustment
7. Ability to sit up straight

Keyboard Position Recommendations 

1. At a height in which your forearms are slightly below a horizontal line (elbows bent a little bit over 90 degrees)
2. Position knees under keyboard tray or desk
3. You should not have to reach for the keyboard by extending your arms or raising your shoulders

Computer Monitor Position Recommendations 

1. The computer monitor should be in front of your directly
2. The monitor top should be at eye level
3. You should not have to squint your eyes or lean forward or backward to read the text on the monitor
4. If glasses are needed, you should have a pair that allows for comfortable viewing of the screen without having to move your head and neck forward or back
5. You should be able to look at the computer comfortably with your back straight and shoulders back (hunching)
   

In addition to having an office environment that promotes good posture and comfortable work, regular exercise, good sleep, and a healthy diet are important to prevent pain and physical weakness from developing over time. An expert physical therapist, like those at Twin Boro, can help you find ways to improve your work environment and daily routine to promote long-term wellness.
