Tips for using the swiss ball as an office seat / chair

Keyboard Height

Keyboard heights are fixed at most workstations, so you will need to adjust your seat height and body position in relation to the keyboard.

Sit with relaxed shoulders and good upright posture. Place your hands on the keyboard in the typing position. Now adjust your seat height until your elbows are bentat 90 degrees (see first picture)

Next make not of the position of your knees and feet. Ideally, there will be a 90 degree angle at your knees, and your feet will rest flat on the floor. If your knees are higher than your hips (the knee angle is less than 90 degrees), you should consider raising your keyboard or desk. You may need to replace your desk with a taller one.

If you cannot place your feet flat on the floor with your knees at 90 degrees (the knee angle is more than 90 degrees), use a footrest to lift your feet to the required height.

Using a swiss ball as a chair

If you are tired of your office chair and want a fun, ergonomically sound replacement - try a ball! Used as chairs, Swiss Balls promote good posture, provide a cushion for your spine and will help make your work environment more fun. Balls also encourage movement of the spine, which help spinal discs stay hydrated and healthy.

Choosing the correct size of the swiss ball is important. Your thighs will be slightly above parallel to the floor and the angle of your feet will be slightly greater than 90 degrees, as shown in the second picture
