*Incorrect seated posture.*

Are you uncomfortable at your desk? Does your computer screen put a strain on your eyes, or even your neck? There *must* be a better way!

Well, there is . . .

As part of Money's [*Get Healthy, Get Wealthy* series](https://money.com/topic/get-healthy-get-wealthy/), occupational therapist Ellen Kolber came to Money's offices to share some basics of ergonomics, the study of how to optimally arrange a workspace to provide comfort and avoid injury. Kolber provided some tips and tricks on how you should be adjusting your chair, computer monitor, and keyboard to have proper posture and positioning at your desk.
