Lumbar Roll
The single most important desk accessory for anyone with low back pain. Place it in the curve of your lower back whenever sitting. Dr. Raj recommends the McKenzie Original.
McKenzie Original Lumbar Roll →Monitor Stand / Riser
Raises your screen to eye level so your neck stays neutral instead of craning downward. If you use a laptop, a stand is non-negotiable.
Adjustable Monitor Riser →Laptop Stand
Gets the screen up; pair with an external keyboard and mouse. The single best investment for laptop users who sit more than 4 hours a day.
Adjustable Laptop Stand →External Keyboard
Lets you position your hands at elbow height while your screen is at eye level. Any full-size keyboard works — wireless recommended.
Logitech MK270 Wireless Keyboard + Mouse →Footrest
If your feet don't touch the floor when your hips are at 90°, a footrest reduces lumbar load by stabilizing your pelvis.
Adjustable Footrest →Trigger Point Foam Roller
For thoracic spine mobility and post-desk muscle release. Not a treatment — a maintenance tool. Use after long sitting sessions.
