It comes as no surprise to me that nearly a third of all Europeans who work at a desk within an office, suffer neck ache associated with an inappropriate workstation environment. I work for many hours a day writing articles and content, however my home does not have the proper facilities for me to work comfortably as many people will find regardless of where they work. Because of this I frequently experience neck and shoulder pain which can sometimes last for days on end.

If you must move your head to view your screen or to read documents continuously throughout the day, then your neck and upper back are being tilted and turned. The improper positioning of your screen or documents will place serious strain on your neck, back and shoulders triggering pain, stiffness and fatigue.

I have been on the lookout for a well thought-out solution to this problem for some time and understand that I will need something to proper position my screen and documents at a comfortable viewing angle. If the position and angle of these items is correct, it will reduce the strain to the neck and upper back. It is suggested that the top of your screen should be at eye level or just below and that is should be set at about an arm’s length away.

Monitor Risers play an important role in office ergonomics. They are considered one of the top 3 essentials when it comes to comfort at work along with the ergonomic office chair and correct lighting (including lamps & uplighters).

Neck strain can often be caused by incorrect monitor height and is something we all need to avoid. It is very common for computer users to develop neck pain from having their VDU positioned too high up or too low down on their desk. Adjusting the height of your monitor is a straightforward process. Follow this simple guide;

1. Sit yourself comfortably in front of your computer
2. Look straight ahead towards your screen
3. Adjust your monitor height until the top of the screen (not the monitor case) is level with your eye.
4. Use a monitor riser such as this Fellowes Monitor Riser Plus, to position your VDU to this height.

Did you know that achieving the correct height of your display screen in now accepted universally by ergonomic experts as vital in achieving workstation posture and comfort, hence helping to avoid neck and shoulder strain? Monitor risers are not only responsible for preventing eye strain, neck and back fatigue, and headaches, but they also allow you to regain valuable desktop space by providing housing for your monitor and additional space for other items too.

Another additional bonus is the storage drawer which pulls out over the top of the keyboard when in maximum height position, plus the base includes cable and power cord guides which are moulded into the back to help direct cables.
