Editing after a long shoot day? Your desk setup might be the reason your neck/back hurts 💻🪑
As a PT and photographer, here’s what I actually fix in my own setup:
1️⃣ Monitor height: at eye level (top of screen or just slightly below) + Length: about an arm’s length away(~20–27 in)
2️⃣ Elbows at 90–100° w/ wrist neutral/flat
3️⃣ Feet flat, thighs parallel to the floor
4️⃣ Mouse right next to your keyboard — no reaching
5️⃣ Move every hour — sitting still is the real enemy 🚶
Reality check⚠️: no one has perfect posture but having more body awareness in how you sit and trying to change positions/stretch after every hour or so will have you gaining longevity in your career
💡Pro tip: pair these adjustments with upper body strengthening exercises such as low rows, pec flys, and chin tucks
