"Deskercise"

An international bank based in the City had a day of desk exercises, workstation tips and massage. I visited 40 people at their desk to give tips on their workstation, stretches and exercises at their desk and a 5 minute massage at their desk. Interestingly, everybody asked about whether their chair was set at the right height. Most didn't know how to operate their chair properly and were unaware of some of the features that would help them. For example, they all had lumbar supports that could move up and down the back of their chair, which can make the seat more comfortable. So the moral of the day was: get to know your chair!
