How to Properly Use Your Sit-stand Desk

2021-07-31

1. Adjust your sit-stand desk to your standing height:
- Start with both feet flat on the ground, hip-width apart and arms relaxed to your side
- Keeping your neck neutral, ears stacked on top of your shoulders and stacked on top of your hips, bend your elbow 90 degrees and adjust the desk to run parallel to your elbow and forearms
- Always keep your wrists straight and not inclined up or down

2. Adjust your sit-stand desk to your sitting height:
- Before you even adjust your desk you must adjust your chair. While sitting, keep your feet flat on the ground so your knees are even with your hip. One should not be higher than the other. If your chair cannot be fully adjusted, consider a foot rest to ensure level footing
- Ears, shoulders, and hips should be stacked on top of each other with your back resting on the chair. Ensure your natural low back curve is protected using the back rest
- Adjust the desk so the table top runs parallel with your bent elbow

3. Adjust your monitor:
- Your monitor should be 18-24 inches from your face with the top third of the screen at eye level. You shouldn`t be moving your head too much up or down, this will cause neck pain and headaches as well as shoulder muscle injury
