  1. Ergonomic back tip: Use your whole body for turning instead of twisting your spine when lifting heavy objects.
  2. Ergonomic back tip: Choose a chair that provides maximum comfort when sitting all the way back against the backrest.
  3. Ergonomic tip: At the computer your upper arms & elbows should be close to the body (not extended outward)
  4. Ergonomic tip: At the computer, your trunk should be perpendicular to floor (may lean back into backrest but not forward)
  5. Ergonomic tip: At the computer, your head & neck to be upright, or in-line with the torso (not bent down/back)
  6. Ergonomic stretching can help ease the stiffness of your major muscle groups. Stand up and try it now.
