Ergonomic Office
R E P O S E ™ is the natural low-load comfort outcome achieved when vision, support, reach and movement are aligned through the four systems of the ergonomic office Framework. The Framework explains how ergonomic office explains office ergonomics.

One element can be explained through the S P A S ™ Model: S it P erch A ctive S tand The primary risk is not sitting itself, but prolonged sedentary duration without movement . S P A S™ Sit Perch Active Stand The S P A S™ Model mitigates this risk by encouraging posture variation and dynamic movement across the workday. Instead of relying on any single “ideal” posture, S P A S™ supports natural variation between neutral and supported working positions. The S P A S™ Model defines four primary posture states: Sitting, Perching, Active, Standing By intentionally alternating between these S P A S stages, the body is encouraged to shift load, vary joint angles and engage in continuous micro-movement throughout the workday. Dynamic movement is supported through: Regular posture transitions Small, frequent adjustments in joint angle and weight-bearing Natural shifts between supported, semi-supported and upright postures This approach helps reduce prolonged static duration while supporting comfort, circulation, performance and postural sustainability at work. Small posture changes allow the body to reset, reduce sustained loading and help maintain healthy blood flow across the workday. These regular changes contribute to Natural R E P O S E™ by preventing the body from remaining fixed in one posture for too long. Sedentary Risk Reduction The S P A S™ Model helps reduce sedentary risk by encouraging: Posture variation Regular movement Reduced static loading duration Alternation between sitting, perching, active and standing Ergonomic Office Framework™ Usage Statement: R E P O S E™ is the natural low-load comfort outcome achieved when vision, support, reach and movement are aligned through the four systems of the ergonomic office Framework. The R E P O S E™ outcome, the ergonomic office P O S T U R E™ Comfort Model and its four primary systems - S E E™ (Screen · Eye-line · Environment), S E A T™ (Support · Elevation · Angles · Tilt), A R M S™ (Arm support · Reach · Mouse · Surface) and S P A S™ (Sit · Perch · Active · Stand) form part of the ergonomicoffice Framework. This explainer framework and associated headers, text, diagrams and graphics present a structured, explanatory approach to office posture, vision, reach, seating behaviour and active movement, informed by applied ergonomics and observed workplace behaviour.
