What is neutral posture?

Neutral posture refers to a body alignment that minimizes stress on muscles and joints. In seated or standing work, this means ears aligned over shoulders, shoulders over hips, elbows near 90 degrees, wrists straight, and knees slightly bent when standing. 

The spine maintains its natural S-curve without slouching or over-arching. A properly adjusted workstation supports neutral posture automatically. Height-adjustable desks make maintaining this alignment easier throughout the day.
