Ergonomic office accessories: The essentials

Investing in the right ergonomic accessories for your personal needs, is just as important as investing in an ergonomic chair.

At Posture Chairs we have various ergonomic accessories to choose from, but here are the absolute essentials you need for your workspace:

Mouse

Ergonomically designed mice are essential if you find yourself using your computer for most of the day.

Like an ergonomic mouse, an ergonomic keyboard will reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries, which can cause damage to the muscle, tendons and nerves.
