⌨️ **Your wrists weren't designed to work at these angles all day.**

If you spend hours typing or using a mouse, your wrist position is worth paying attention to.

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the carpal tunnel in your wrist. While no single workstation adjustment can guarantee prevention, reducing sustained, awkward wrist positions is a smart place to start.

At VerticAlign Posture & Ergonomics, I help people identify workstation habits and setup issues that may contribute to discomfort before they become bigger problems.

**Take a look at your hands right now.** Are your wrists straight, or are they bent up toward your keyboard?

🎙️ WELCOME TO THE ERGONOMIC CONFESSIONALS.

Let’s be honest. We all do things at our desks that we’d never recommend to anyone else.

Sitting on one foot? Guilty.
Turning your laptop into a chin-level screen? We’ve all been there.
Working from the couch for three hours because your desk suddenly feels unbearable? No judgment.

I’m an ergonomics specialist. I’ve seen it all. And I’m pretty sure you’ve done at least one of these things today.

This is a judgment-free zone. Mostly. 😉

**Want to wake up your glutes? 🍑 Try the All 4 Glutes Lift!**

Start on your hands and knees with your hips square to the floor. Keeping your knee bent, lift one leg up toward the ceiling as if you’re trying to kick the ceiling with your foot. Squeeze your glute at the top, then lower with control.

The key? **Keep your hips square and avoid twisting your body to get the leg higher.** You want your glutes doing the work—not your lower back.

Try 10–15 reps on each side and feel those glutes fire! 🔥

**It’s Ergonomics Awareness Month! 🪑💻**

Ergonomics isn’t just about having the “right” chair. It’s about creating a work environment that supports your body, reduces unnecessary strain, and helps you stay comfortable and productive throughout the day.

This month, take a look at your workstation, your posture, and—perhaps most importantly—how often you move.

Small changes can make a big difference.

Want to know how your posture and workstation are affecting you?Let’s talk! DM me or reach out and I’ll send you a link to schedule some time together. We can talk through your posture, ergonomics, and practical changes that can help you feel better while you work.

Your body is your most important workplace tool. Take care of it.

**Your workplace posture could be silently affecting your productivity.**

When your body is uncomfortable, fatigued, or working harder than it needs to, it can be difficult to stay focused and energized. And you may not even realize your workstation or posture is contributing to it. It can impact your breathing and your brain!

The good news? Small changes in how you sit, move, and set up your workspace can make a big difference.

**Better ergonomics isn’t just about preventing pain. It’s about helping your body work better—so you can work better, too.**

🧘‍♀️ Want to keep your body feeling younger? Get on the floor.

One of the simplest ways to challenge your mobility, strength, balance, and coordination is something we did naturally as kids:

Sit on the floor.

Floor sitting requires your hips, knees, ankles, spine, and core to work differently than they do when you’re sitting in a chair all day. And getting down to the floor and back up again is an even bigger movement challenge.

That’s why I encourage my clients to incorporate floor sitting into their everyday lives—not as an exercise, but as a way to keep moving their bodies in different ways.

And if you’re going to sit on the floor and scroll your phone, be mindful of your posture! 📱

👉 Try bringing your phone up toward your face rather than collapsing your head and neck forward.

The goal isn’t perfect posture.

It’s mobility, variety, and keeping your body capable.

Because one of the best ways to stay young is to keep doing the things that require you to move like you’re young. ❤️

When was the last time you sat on the floor?
