Many people spend almost half of all of their waking hours sitting at a desk. A healthy work station involves being aware of your seating, keyboard and mouse, computer monitor position and glare, telephone position, feet position, lighting and proper positioning of your work.

It is critical to evaluate the proper set up of your work environment because it is often the cause of most repetitive stress injuries, such as carpel tunnel.

Chair

• Human Scale offers a variety of seating options designed to keep you healthy and well while you are working including the Freedom or Liberty models. Not only are they healthy because they support your spine and are adjustable to offer a perfect fit for your body to work in, they are also beautiful award winning designs.
• A great new cost effective desk chair is an exercise ball that sits on a stand. These are terrific and very affordable. These chairs actually help you strengthen your core muscles while sitting on them. It's like a workout while you're working.

Headset

• If you talk on the phone regularly and for long periods of time, a headset is a great tool to prevent headaches, stiff necks and sore shoulders. If you really want a new and healthy experience, invest in a cordless headset.
• One of the most popular brands is Plantronics and we personally enjoy using them. Computer, Keyboard, Mouse Pads.
• Human Scale, a leader in ergonomic office furniture, offers a variety of computer monitor arms that can get your monitor off your desk. It is completely adjustable so you can move it around where you want to, when you want to.

Many computer keyboards now include wrist pads as standard accessories. An ergonomic mouse and mousepad with a "heel" on it to rest your wrist are proactive features that benefit everyone using computer technology these days.
