Ergonomics Made Easy

Get into the zone—your comfort zone, that is

The three-part ergonomic equation provides answers to the ergonomic problems you might face. Consider your workspace in terms of Neutral Posture + Voluntary Motion + Rest Time to find your fit.

Number 1

Neutral Posture

Properly position your display, mouse and keyboard
The result is less strain and fatigue and more energy… more + 
This gets you into your “power zone.” It minimizes stress to your body by naturally encouraging a posture that’s comfortable and requires little energy expenditure, with your elbows close to your core, shoulders open and chin and forearms level with the floor.
Number 2

Voluntary Motion

Incorporate movement into computing routine
This relieves posture fatigue, it’s like pushing the reset button… more +
Great for ergonomics and general wellness. Moving from one posture to the next—especially sitting to standing—helps prevent the cumulative hazards of poor posture and too much sitting while improving circulation, calorie-burn and insulin management.
Number 3

Rest Time

Take brief and frequent breaks
Standing up can be a recuperative posture after sitting a while… more +
This allows your body to rest and recuperate. But don’t assume that rest means sitting! It’s actually a break from whatever posture you’ve been holding. Taking breaks at regular intervals and adding occasional stretching is a great way to relax your eyes, wrists and body.

The right mount will give you the maximum amount of flexibility to get into the right ergonomic zone. By following this list of ergonomics tips, you’ll decrease the strain on your body and reduce risk of repetitive stress injuries.

As a movement company, we get that ergonomics is widely known, but narrowly understood. That’s why we’re sharing insights on key topics in ergonomics to help you move forward.

Mental health and ergonomics

Mental Health

Support a healthy mind and body

To make a stronger, healthier and more comfortable you, we need to talk about your physical and mental health. Did you know that movement has a positive impact on your mental health? Here’s how.

Movement and ergonomics

Movement

Thrive with movement

Taking care of your body and supporting a feel-good workday starts by simply adding regular movement to your workstyle. Whether it’s using a sit-stand workstation or leading a walking meeting, research shows that your heart, mood, back and neck will thank you.

Posture and ergonomics

Posture

Fire that frontal lobe

Did you know your posture and your brain’s frontal lobe have a shared interest? Research shows that bad posture does more than hurt your neck and spine. It negatively affects the frontal lobe, which is responsible for key tasks like problem solving and memory.

Bring New Energy to Your Workday

What’s the antidote to sitting too much? Switch it up! Change how you work every 30 minutes: sit and stand, fidget and stretch. These tips will guide you to a healthier workstyle with a movement mindset.
