  The muscles in your upper back stay tense if you sit in a rigid upright posture. Also, if you work in a twisted position the muscles are unevenly balanced and they become painful.
 

 
  • Arrange your work so that you are looking straight ahead most of the time.
  • Make sure your keyboard is parallel to the front of your desk when you are using it.
  • Sit back in your chair and rest your upper body against the backrest.
  • Change your sitting position at regular intervals by leaning slightly forward and then slightly backward.
  • Pause from your work to stretch and move away from your desk. Take a break!
