Summary

Ergonomics is the science of designing your workspace and daily habits to fit your body’s natural alignment and movement. When your environment is "ergonomic," it minimizes physical strain, reduces the risk of repetitive motion injuries, and helps prevent chronic musculoskeletal pain.

Most likely causes of poor ergonomics

Improper Chair Height: Feet not touching the floor or knees at awkward angles.
Monitor Misalignment: Looking too far up or down for long periods.
"Tech Neck": Hunching over phones or tablets.
Static Posture: Sitting or standing in one position for hours without movement.
Poor Keyboard Placement: Reaching too far forward, straining the wrists and shoulders.
