Chiropractor Emily Kiberd offers tips on how to improve the ergonomics of various desk setups.

How to improve your at-home desk setup

I'm dr Emily Khyber chiropractor and founder of Urban Wellness Clinic. I'm here to help you with your posture and set your desk up for success Jessica. Yeah this is probably like a two out of five I guess she has like probably some upper back tightness and some headaches. So she is, her chair is too low to the ground. So she's having to reach up and forward which can put a lot of tension in your upper back. So I would probably have her lift the chair and then scoot your chair closer to the desk so that her elbows are kind of down towards her side versus kind of reaching out like a little t rex chris doesn't look so bad. Chris is probably like four out of five ft are planted on the floor. If you look from a profile view. His ears are in line with his shoulders in line with his hips, his elbows are close to his side and his wrists kind of come in line with his elbows. Which is great if there was anything I was going to adjust is it's really hard to hold this posture for a long period of time. So I probably put something, there's a big gap between his low back in the chair, kitty is probably a one out of five. It's really hard to be working at your kitchen table on two laptops. First thing I would do is like lift her laptop and that's tricky because then she might be typing up here. So I then get a separate remote keyboard. So her hands are down lower Ross if he's doing this 8-10 hours a day, it's probably a .5 out of five stars while this might be comfortable to work on your laptop in bed. You definitely don't want to be doing this for hours and hours and hours at a time, right? You get low back pain could predispose you to discover nations, especially with that amount of rounding inflection. So I would put him at a desk, started from the ground up, feet on the floor, hips a little higher than your knees, ears over shoulders over hips when you're sitting. And then elbows should be right down to your sides. And ideally eyes are hitting the top third of your screen, Ellen. So she's doing seated and she's doing standing and she looks like she has all the ergonomic gadgets that you could possibly have, right? She looks pretty good. I give her like, you know, as close as probably like a five out of five is, I've seen so far, she has this very fancy chair with the headrest, her posture looks good, her feet are on the ground, her eyes, if she looks forward, hits the top third of her screen, her standing posture and I'm I'm glad that she has a standing desk because she can create that dynamic movement in her day. You know, the thing about posture is you're not meant to hold that one position hours and hours and hours. Our life is dynamic. Our movement is meant to be dynamic. So you know, so is our posture right? We're meant around, we're meant to extend. We're not just meant to hold one position all day. I would probably, in an ideal world, your wrist from a profile view would be a little bit below your elbows. So hers is kind of above. So I'd probably drop the standing desk down just a hair and then lift the screen. The most common things I find with an ergonomic setup that's not so great is the chair is too low. They're reaching for their computer or their laptop is not elevated. The computer's not elevated so they're looking down and rounding. So usually it's too low reach round
