Workplace ergonomics are responsible for many musculoskeletal injuries each year, many resulting in back problems.

So, what does an ergonomic workspace look like? Well, Ergonomic Trends did a nice job writing a guide on this very subject. It can be found at the link above and discusses some important variables to consider when setting up your office.

The article will walk you through how to choose the right chair and properly adjust it. It also discusses the proper desk height, monitor position, lighting, and ergonomic peripherals, such as keyboards and mice.

Another interesting topic this article addresses are "workstation zones" which contemplates where you should place certain items to avoid leaning and bending motions.

Adjusting your lifestyle to include exercise and stress reduction can also help improve your posture and help reduce ergonomic related injuries.
