Sedentary Lives
Are a Pain!
Statistics Canada reports that Canadian
adults aged 18 to 79 spend an average of
nearly 10 waking hours per day sedentary
(not including sleep). This means that
between 60 and 70 per cent of our waking
time is spent being sitting down! Much of
this time is due to increased computer work.

Ergonomic Desk Setup
Workstation set ups will vary according
to the particular desk style, monitor,
tray mount or other accessories used.
Sitting behind a desk for hours every day can
trigger weight gain, muscle tension and
imbalances, poor posture and pain; therefore
it’s important to get up and stretch often.
These ideal settings tips will also ensure that
your time sitting at the computer prevents
future injuries – and will even help you to be
more productive.

Ideal Settings
1 Your monitor should be set at a height so that your neck
will be straight.
2 Your elbow joints should be at about 90 degrees, with the arms
hanging naturally at the sides.
3 Keep your hands in line with the forearms, so the wrists are
straight, not bending up, down or to either side.
If at any point in time you begin to feel pain
or discomfort, please contact us at Omni Foot
& Chiropractic Clinic as soon as possible; we
offer free consultations and our team of
professionals can advise you whether
treatment is necessary, or if your condition
simply warrants a change of posture!
4 Thighs should be roughly parallel to the floor, with your feet
flat on the floor or footrest.

After Your Health!
5 If necessary, use a footrest to support your feet.
6 Your chair should be fully adjustable (i.e. for seat height, backrest
height and seat pan tilt, and, preferably, armrests). It should have
a well formed lumbar (lower back) support to help maintain the
lumbar curve.
7 There should be enough space to use the mouse. Use a wrist
rest or armrest so that your wrist is straight and your arm
muscles are not overworked.
8 Use an adjustable document holder to hold source documents
at the same height, angle and distance as the monitor.
