Your chair should support your lower back so that the spine is in S shape. You can also add a cushion or a rolled towel to reduce the stress. The chair should make the knees and elbows to sit at the right angles to minimize the strain. The working desk should support the elbows. Your mouse and keyboard should be at 8-10 cm from the edge of your working desk. The top of the monitor should be one arm's length away so that your body sits stiffly.
