More than 10 hours a day, the average American adult types or hunches over a screen without help. This lack of physical activity results in a dramatic increase in posture-related health issues, such as chronic back pain, which affects 80% of adults at some time or another.
The good news? You don’t have to redo an entire office to make that change. Transform your setup for less with smart, affordable ergonomic tools from PostureUp that support and shape your body where it needs it most. This article dives into why these tools are the upgrade your body deserves.

It may not seem like a big deal, but bad posture can have serious health effects over time. Without adequate backing, your body stresses differently. Here’s what that strain can lead to:
- Strained Lower Back: When the natural lumbar support is missing, the spine is compressed.
- Neck and Shoulder Tension: One can’t help but crane their neck forward, resulting in muscle strain and eventually tension headaches.
- Wrist and Elbow Strain: Typing in an unsupported position may lead to repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Spinal Pressure: Long-term misalignments can cause disc degeneration or herniation, according to Spine Health.
