Office posture self-check

Most desk pain comes from three or four bad settings: a screen too low, no lumbar support, feet dangling, forgotten breaks. This 8-point test scores your setup and tells you what to fix first — with the right equipment or guide for each weak spot.

Office posture self-check

Answer these 8 points honestly, sitting as you normally do. You'll get a score and your priority fixes.

  • The top of my screen is at eye level.

  • My elbows are at ~90°, forearms supported.

  • My feet are flat (floor or footrest).

  • My lower back is supported (lumbar support).

  • My knees are at ~90°, thighs parallel to the floor.

  • My wrists are straight, neither bent up nor down.

  • I move / take a break every 30-45 min.

  • My shoulders are relaxed, not raised.
