Back pain is a very common problem because static posture increases stress in the back, shoulders, arms, and legs. That’s why it’s important to avoid certain sitting mistakes and follow experts’ recommendations. We know how harmful bad sitting habits can be and want to share with you some poor posture positions that we likely do every day while working at a desk.

Your eyes should be in line with a point on the screen about 2-3 inches (5-7 cm) below the top of your monitor. If it’s positioned this way, you won’t tilt your head.
