Clearer thinking for a more comfortable workday.
Ten evidence-based, plain-language guides to tech neck, phone habits, desk work, movement, pain science and posture reminders.
Evidence
Does Poor Posture Cause Neck Pain? A Clear Look at the Evidence

Desk ergonomics
Desk Work and Neck Pain: Build a Setup That Lets You Move
Good ergonomics is not a photograph of perfect posture. It is a workspace that makes comfortable variation easy.
Movement
