Why Your Chair Might Be Your Worst Enemy
Ever felt a dull ache in your back after sitting all day? Or that uncomfortable shoulder stiffness that just won’t go away? Long work hours without proper ergonomic support can slowly take a toll on your health—causing chronic back pain, tight hips, eye strain, and wrist fatigue. But the good news? A few smart adjustments in your work setup can make all the difference.
Why Your Body Complains: The Hidden Impact of Poor Ergonomics
Your body is built to move—not to stay glued to a chair for 8+ hours. Poor posture compresses your spine, tightens your muscles, and reduces circulation. Without regular movement or proper support, long sitting hours can result in
- Lower back pain from slouching
- Stiff neck and shoulders from awkward screen positioning
- Tingling hands or wrist pain from poor wrist placement
-
Swollen feet or legs due to improper leg elevation
Quick Fixes to Keep Pain Away (With PALO Product Solutions)
✅ Back Support: Use an Orthopedic Backrest
A lumbar support backrest helps your spine stay in its natural curve. Whether on an office chair or home setup, it prevents slouching and provides even weight distribution to reduce pressure on your lower back.

✅ Leg & Foot Care: Use a Footrest
Sitting for hours with feet dangling or poorly supported can cause swelling and fatigue. A footrest boosts circulation, keeps your feet relaxed, and reduces pressure on the lower body.

✅ Screen Positioning: Use a Laptop Stand
Looking down at your screen for hours can lead to neck strain and hunched posture. Elevate your laptop to eye level for better alignment and pair it with a separate mouse and keyboard for comfort.

👉 Pair it with your choice of wireless/wired keyboard and mouse for best results.
✅ Hand & Wrist Relief: Use Wrist & Arm Support
Repetitive typing and mouse movement strain your wrists and arms. A memory foam wrist rest mousepad and arm cushions provide the soft support needed to prevent fatigue and pressure buildup.
💡 PALO Product Suggestions:
- PALO039 - PALO Mousepad with Memory Foam Wrist Rest
- PALO030 – Premium Ergonomic ArmRest
- KGSS10 – Memory Foam Chair Armrest - Set of 2
These tools ensure your arms don’t dangle—avoiding stress on your shoulders and wrists.
✅ Take Breaks: Move Every 40 Minutes
Set a timer. Every 40 minutes, stand up, stretch, and walk. Go refill your water bottle, make tea or coffee, talk to a colleague, or do a quick desk stretch. Blink often and look away from the screen every 20 minutes. This keeps your circulation flowing and your eyes rested.
Just 2 minutes of movement can re-energize your body and mind.
