Get situated. Sitting the healthy way doesn’t always come naturally. The key is “aligning your pelvis so that it supports the spine”: Center your weight over the front edge of your “sit bones” and “imagine ‘wagging’ your tailbone” into position. Your thighs and torso should form a 90-degree angle and both feet should be flat on the floor.
Move your monitor. Your computer’s monitor should be “at least a foot and a half from your face” with its center “six inches below your gaze.” This will naturally keep your chin pointed slightly down.”
