| Bad Workstation Causes |  - You place your keyboard or mouse too far away.
To reach them you have to lean forward or slump over. This will carry additional strain to your spine.

Besides, you may also want to consider a keyboard tray with enough room for your mouse.

Proper posture is very important. It helps minimize the strain on your muscles and joints.

Constantly reaching to swap disks or CDs in a CPU that is not within easy reach can lead to neck, shoulder, and upper back pain. Consider placing the CPU in an under-desk hanger to minimize the distance you need to reach.

If your chair has an adjustable backrest, tilt, seat pan, or lumbar support, make sure they are adjusted to correctly fit you.
