If your neck or shoulders feel sore after a day at the desk, you’re not alone—and the real issue might not be your computer or your chair, but how you’re sitting. In this video, I walk you through the desk posture that’s slowly wearing down your spine and share some of the biggest mistakes people make when working at a desk.

You’ll see why slouching causes more than just temporary discomfort—it can actually change the shape and function of your spine over time. And I’ll show you what proper sitting really looks like, including small shifts you can make right now to ease strain on your neck, shoulders, and lower back.

But this video isn’t just about sitting upright. I also talk about what to do during your workday to prevent pain from creeping back in, especially if you spend hours behind a screen. Whether you're using a laptop, working at a home office, or stuck in meetings all day, these adjustments can make a difference.

I’ll also go over a few of my favorite tools—simple, affordable accessories that can help support your spine if you don’t have access to a standing desk or an ergonomic chair. You don’t need a full office overhaul to sit better, feel better, and move better.

Stick around to learn how to sit smarter, not stiffer.

And if you want a simple guide to improve your posture during the daily activities you’re already doing, like sitting, lying down and bending, I’ve got something that’ll help: https://www.drwohlfert.com/epp 

Let’s make sitting work for you—not against you.
