1.Your feet should be flat on the floor, and you should not be looking down or WAY up at your work.
2. get lumbar support - either with a nice chair, or pillow at your lower back.
3. DON'T SLUMP!!!
Standing is a great option - but make sure it's supported!
If you DO stand, it helps to put a foot up on a low stool, it takes the pressure off of your lower back.
If you are standing, make sure the work surface is at a height where you are not slouched over to do it.
Cushioned mats to stand on help.
Whatever you are doing (sit or stand) take breaks from that position and stretch.

Its difficult for me to sit in a chair with my feet on the floor as I am vertically challenged ;) When I sit at my desk I usually have something to prop my feet on. I find this helps quite a bit


I get up a lot, to make tea, to talk to a coworker, to go to the bathroom, take my afternoon walk, etc.
I try not to slump, but I know I do.

I found a really good book and a dvd and learned to do yoga at home. It has really made a difference in the way I feel and I don't have to worry about being in a class and feeling out of place.


I started googling to see if such a thing was widely available and found one that i'm kind of in lust with:

If I had a high enough table, I suppose I could stand and compute. But I'd have to lean over now, and that would mess up my back. What do you think?
