Frequently asked questions
Do I need to change my desk setup?
Sometimes small adjustments help, but building neck and upper back capacity is usually more effective than relying on ergonomic changes alone.
Can I continue working at a desk?
Yes. We help you build tolerance for desk work while addressing contributing factors. Most people do not need to stop working.
