Nothing about your desk was chosen for your body. Not the height, not the chair, not the keyboard. It was chosen for an average that doesn't exist — and then you sat in it for eight hours a day, for years.

This is the assessment we'd run if we were standing in your office. It takes about twelve minutes, and at the end you get a score, exactly what we found, and what to change today. Most of it costs nothing.

No email required. Your results appear the moment you finish.
