Testimonials

I came into the clinic with a pain in my back and leg. This pain had limited my ability to stand for long periods of time and was starting to affect my sleep. I had been to every specialist and advised to go and get an operation. Michael thought I should consider some chiropractic treatment before going for the operation. It is now three months on and after ten sessions I am able to stand for much longer without any pain. The leg pain is not there at night. Due to my posture and injury to the lower back Michael has explained that I need some maintenance treatment. I would have no trouble recommending Michael to anybody who is suffering from back or leg pain.

Tips for setting up your office desk

Find your natural posture – move your seat away from your desk and sit down comfortably. Your feet should be on the floor, shoulders relaxed and hands lying loosely on your lap. Lean into the back of the chair and let it support you. This should be comfortable, we call this natural posture, in this position, your vertebrae are stacked and pelvis is positioned correctly.

Desk set up

Keyboard and mouse placement – the keyboard and mouse should be positioned in a way that keeps your elbows by your sides. Your elbows should be bent to 90 degree angles, in this position there is minimal tension in the shoulder muscles.

The height of your keyboard should be 1 to 2 inches above your thighs. For most of us this means using a pull out keyboard tray.

The tilt of your keyboard should be down and away from you, this allows your hand to remain in a relaxed position preventing pressure on the forearm and wrist. It is not recommended to use the kickstand underneath most keyboards.
