The Chair Allows Posture Collapse
Most chairs don't support your pelvis or thoracic spine properly, so you slowly sink into poor posture — leading to low back pain, shoulder tension, and fatigue.
Get Your Posture Right
Setting up your Anthros chair is quick and simple.
- Start by resetting both back supports, then dial in your foundation: sit deep, lift your pelvis upright, and rotate the pelvis support until it holds you there.
- Bring the upper backrest forward until it gently supports your upper torso — adjust until your muscles can fully relax.
- Finally, activate Decompress Mode by unlocking the tilt and adjusting tension to match your body.
No Anthros?
No Problem.
- Sit upright with a firm pillow behind your pelvis for support
- Add a small thoracic pillow to keep your upper back upright
- Use a seat cushion if you're feeling pressure or butt pain
- Adjust armrest height (or improvise) so shoulders are down, elbows close, and wrists straight
Desk Height Forces Compensation
Standard desks are too tall for most people, causing shrugged shoulders, tight neck and traps, and forward posture.
Fix Your Desk + Your Feet
Pull your chair as close as you can to your desk. Lower the desk or raise your chair so your elbows are at 90° with relaxed shoulders and forearms parallel to the floor. Feet should rest flat on the floor or on a footrest, thighs parallel to the ground.
Attach a keyboard tray to your desk to achieve the proper desk height and have your seat height closer to the floor.
Get an adjustable height desk that goes low enough to achieve the proper desk height.

Peripherals Create Shoulder, Arm, + Wrist Strain
Peripherals placed too far away force you to reach and roll your shoulders forward, bend your wrists unnaturally, and load your shoulders, forearms, and wrists all day.
Remove The Strain
Pull your keyboard and mouse close to your body with wrists and hands in the neutral position. The goal is to have your elbows directly under your shoulders and arms relaxed.
Use a laptop riser and Bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo.
Upgrade to an ergonomic keyboard and mouse that keep your wrists straight and arms neutral.
Monitor Position Encourages Forward Head Posture
When your screen sits too low or too far away, your neck drifts forward, increasing strain on your upper back and triggering headaches and soreness.
It's The Distance
Your monitor should be located one arm's length away. Eye level should hit the top third of the screen with your gaze slightly downward 10–20 degrees. Too low or too far = forward head posture = pain.
