If you work manual labor, you know the physical demands of the job can put wear and tear on your body. However, if you work an office job, you probably don’t think your body is at much of a risk of suffering an injury. This simply isn’t true, and our body positioning in the office plays a big role in whether we develop certain health conditions later in life.
If you want to protect your body at the office, you have to consider the proper ergonomics for sitting, standing and spending eight hours in an office. That’s where our friends at StartStanding.org come in. They are a team of individuals that strive to increase awareness of the dangers of a sedentary lifestyle and offer options to live a more active and pain-free lifestyle. To help with this goal, they created an infographic on workplace ergonomics and gave us permission to run it on our blog.
So if you work in an office or sit down a lot throughout the day, learn about some proper posture positions in the below infographic to stay injury free, and be sure to check out StartStanding.org for more ways to live a healthy lifestyle!
