- Ensure Proper Keyboard and Mouse Placement3
Description
Positioning input devices correctly prevents hunching and reaching, promoting better shoulder and wrist posture.
Recipe/Instructions
- Place the keyboard directly in front of you, close enough so your elbows remain bent at roughly 90 degrees and close to your sides while typing.
- Keep your wrists straight (not bent up, down, or sideways) while typing. Consider a wrist rest if needed, but ensure it supports the heel of the palm, not the wrist itself.
- Position the mouse close to the keyboard so you don't have to reach far for it.
- Alternate mouse hand occasionally if possible.
- Ensure forearms are roughly parallel to the floor.
What makes the Dish Special

solution - Alternate Sitting and Standing with a Standing Desk/Converter4
Description
Changing positions between sitting and standing throughout the day reduces the negative effects of prolonged static posture.
Recipe/Instructions
- Consider investing in a height-adjustable standing desk or a standing desk converter (which sits on top of your existing desk).
- Alternate between sitting and standing periods throughout the workday (e.g., stand for 30-60 minutes, then sit for 30-60 minutes).
- When standing, ensure the desk height allows your elbows to be at a 90-degree angle while typing, and the monitor is at eye level.
- Use an anti-fatigue mat when standing for comfort.
- Maintain good posture while standing (shoulders back, core engaged, avoid leaning).
What makes the Dish Special
N/A - Introduces dynamic movement by allowing easy transition between sitting and standing postures.
