I switched to standing desk but will also be using a stool. Sitting screwed up my posture.

Standing desk that I can raise and lower. Sit and stand and go for walks or gym.

Just stand up bro

Don't be lazy bro

Bro...

It’s something i have problem with. The best I have seen is just a yoga ball and just training yourself the core to stand up right. Or a comfortable stool and doing the same

Cushion to sit on or for supporting lower back?

As others correctly point out, standing upright is best. Get an adjustable desk.

Spend years working in IT, long hours sitting in front of a computer with bad posture, and your body will naturally adapt to its environment! 🤣

Seriously though, for me the important things are a good desk, good chair, fairly large and good quality monitor so I’m not looking at a tiny laptop screen, and regular breaks. I generally go out for 15-30 minute walk every couple of hours to break the day up (fortunately I have flexibility to do that with my job).

Read “Back Up” by Liam Mannix and you’ll realise ergonomics is indeed a scam, and the same goes for info out there on back pain😬

The only way to ergonomically work on a laptop is to dock it and use it as a desktop. Otherwise it is better to lay down in some recliner chair and change positions frequently instead of sitting at a table hunched over a laptop.

I bought a standing desk converter so I can alternate between standing and sitting throughout the day. A lunchtime walk helps too.

Get a split keyboard. It opens up the shoulders..

imo the hack is to change positions—chair, squatting, standing, gymnastic ball, whatever (:

“Wobble” chair. Rounded base, central shaft, rounded triangular cushion top. Adjustable height so you can lean or perch on it. Been doing this for years. The rest of my coworkers went through 3-4generations of chairs during my 20 years there. Google it!

Get really good at planks. 2-3 min practically evaporates low back pain.

If you must sit, spend on a good office chair.

I have been using Steelcase Series 1 for many years and can recommend it.

I got the idea from the company I used to work for. They definitely did a good research to make sure their thousands of employees don't get back pains from long hour shifts.

Tai Chi, it protects your family, rids bully's, fix back pain and cures cancer

sit on the floor so you feel more inclined to stretch and move in different positions.

or a regular office chair with an infrared/ red light mat. i use the higher dose one, and the therasage one. would recommend therasage since it has more use cases and is easier to travel with.

You can’t. You need to change the working hours and the laptop.

The Purple seat cushion changed my life…I never really struggle with back pain but the ischial tuberosities “sit bone” pain was uncomfortable at worst. Now when I sit for extended periods of time, I do so pain free.

sit healthy by standing

Straight back, frequent breaks 🤷‍♂️

Stand all day. With a stool to lean back on occasionally.

most chairs and desks people work from are completely unsuitable for any longer periods of work (also a reason why travel sucks for any kinds of productivity)

90 degree knees, no tension in the shoulders.

Change your chair settings around, don't let your body lock in to one position.

Been working from home on a computer full time since the beginning of covid and this is what I've arrived at for not letting that computer time tear my body and mind down. Hope it helps people here. Hope to learn new tips I can integrate from the other comments.

Stool instead of a chair, standing desk, desk treadmill, balance board, cushion floor mat. Any one position or repetitive movement all day is bad. Constantly switch and move your body. The 3 point bridge specifically for the hunching but also any mind body connection yoga or pilates ish movement is also a great way to spend a break for a desk worker.

!!Hunching over your phone is not a break from your laptop for your mind or body!!

My highest productivity is usually on my balance board, but I limit it to 1 focus sprint a day because my day total productivity is best when I switch things around.

All of this movement should be slow and easy, it is just about not being still. Slow easy movement improves recovery between your other workouts. It would be easy to do those movements too hard or too long and start to accumulate stress that hurts your workouts. This is another reason for the constant switching, a 20 minute walk is refreshing but a 4 hour walk tears you down. I feel this more and more as I age and wish I made more varied low intensity movement a part of my life earlier.

I also leverage other biological functions to move throughout the day. I have a bathroom on the floor I'm on, but I go upstairs to use that one instead to get that little extra movement. Then I go to the other end of the house and wash my hands in the kitchen to go that little bit more movement before I return for my next focus sprint.

Not movement and stiffnss specific but sort of related. I'm also autistic so I really feel the dopamine lulls of boredom with the same mental task on the same laptop all day. All this novelty in my body is key to not burning out on the repetitive brain work. Music, no music, different music genre intentionally switched around can also drive novelty while doing the same task on the same laptop with your mind. Usually podcasts, audiobooks, and music with lyrics is too much of a distraction for the level and type of focus I need for my job but they might fit into your rotation.

HTH HAND as us old timers used to say.

Here is my story. grateful

My wife was diagnosed with a cancer, ( before i learnt of Rick Simpsons oil / RSO ) the hospital said to do chemotherapy and radiotherapy.. she did.. and went through a lot.. but no cure, after a while the doctors said the cancer was spreading and we could look for alternatives.. i searched the internet and found out about the oil.. asked a lot of questions.. watched the videos etc.. we made the oil our selves but it couldn’t just work out we were doing more harm than good and the cancer was still there spreading, i searched more on the internet i found a testimony on how a lady got the oil via his website: https://naturalricksimpsoncannabisoil.comimmediately copied the email address on the website: i wrote to the very email on the website: https://naturalricksimpsoncannabisoil.com and in an hour later i got a reply back asking me some few questions, and enlightened me on how to get the oil in the next 48hours, i placed my order and in the next 48hours the medication oil got to us. immediately my wife started using the oil, it been two months now, since my wife has been using the medication oil and the cancerous problems are gone this very fact was clarified by the doctor. i put up this piece of testimony for the sake of those once who need this oil to please don’t die in silence their is a cure for your cancer today website: https://naturalricksimpsoncannabisoil.com and get the oil

We stand, allows us to justify eating more 🍕 too

Standing desk

There are no such thing as ergonomic XXX. We all have different bodies and muscles.

I found out that if I’m sitting super straight, almost like I’m about to stand up, I can seat for a whole day without any pain whatsoever.

Pretty similar to a stool sitting position but with back support ✅.

Instead, buy thick foam and put a cover around it. Pillows for your back. A chair where the backrest can tilt backward. Stand up every hour, even for small things
