Office Ergonomics for Coccyx Pain
If you work at a desk, proper ergonomics is essential for coccyx pain relief. Here's how to set up your workspace.
Chair Setup
- Seat height: Feet flat, hips slightly above knees
- Seat depth: 2-3 finger widths between knee and seat edge
- Backrest: Lumbar support at natural curve
- Armrests: Shoulders relaxed, elbows at 90°
Monitor Position
- Top of screen at or slightly below eye level
- Arm's length distance (20-26 inches)
- Directly in front to avoid neck twisting
💡 Pro Tip: Set a timer for 30-minute standing breaks. Use this time to walk, stretch, or do standing work.
