It could be your chair too and how it effects your body alignment.
I am a big fan of standing desks. My last client had them, when I was working on site. So no argument from me.
Hopefully you have one of those desks you can raise and lower, that’s a really good thing to do. I had a raised desk and used it for several years. It made a huge difference in helping with posture and keeping fit.
I would go back to one now, but space is rather limited in my current house.
Edit - Spelling
Yes, having a good chair and a good monitor are critical. Plus having them adjusted correctly for your work. (Or… cough play… I mean “network testing”.[1])
I always send a new employee out to buy a good chair that works for them. I tell them to buy something that is good quaility, will work for them, and will last. Expense is no object, because the more hours they spend in it billing, the more money we make.
[1] - I bought all the employees Star Craft years ago when the CDs were like $9.00 a disk. We’d be working late, and get on at 2:00 am as a team. To take a break and “test the network”. The kids would wipe us off the map in 5 to 10 minutes, and then we’d go back to whatever we were doing. lol
Hi Haavi,
I appreciate your thoughtful response. To answer your question, yes, my shoulders are rounded and I almost always hunch forward in my chair. I have been trying to correct my posture for a while but haven’t been successful yet.
No problems friend, it can be a bit of a mission to fix but it is definitely important. I’d definitely advise seeing someone in regards to it (if affordable) or at least taking a look at ‘upper cross syndrome’ online for a bit of info.
Feel free to ask me any questions you have though and I’d be happy to offer a bit of assistance.
i busted both my shoulderblades with a desk that was too high for my chair.
took 3-4 days to heal up and then i got myself a lower/less formidable desk lol
