Some body positions put less strain on your body and are more comfortable to work in, especially over long periods of time.

• For activities such as typing and knitting, keep your forearms parallel to the floor or slightly lowered.
• Keep your shoulders relaxed and not raised.
• Your wrists and hands should be in line with your arms; your wrists should not be twisted or bent for long periods of time.
• Position your work at waist height or slightly lower if you have to exert force.
• Organize your work so that you can change your position occasionally while maintaining a comfortable posture.
