Tips for the workplace
Here are some Physio workplace tips to help you keep you fit and healthy at work:
- When you take a break—take a proper one! Don’t surf the web or start using your phone.
- Every couple of hours get up, take a short walk and stretch your legs.
- Take periodic ‘mini-breaks’ at your desk every twenty minutes or so – do some stretches to loosen your shoulder and neck muscles and shift position.
- If you work in an open plan office and need to speak to one of your colleagues, get up and walk over to their desk
Watch your posture:
- Sit close to your work station
- Keep the keyboard at a level that doesn’t require much reaching and isn’t too high or too low
- Keep your monitor at eye level
- Sit with your legs flexed at 90-degree angle with your feet resting comfortably
Physiotherapy can give you advice on:

- Workstation setup
- Manual handling
