How Rmour Helped Me Fix My Posture: A Designer’s Story

From neck pain to flow state—how one tool changed the way I work.

Hi, I’m Laura. I’m a freelance UX/UI designer. I live on my laptop, and like many remote creatives, my workspace used to be… less than ideal.

Back in 2023, I thought I had a “pretty good” setup. I had a clean desk, decent lighting, and a sleek MacBook. But after months of 10-hour workdays, I started noticing something was wrong.

😣 The Pain Was Subtle… Until It Wasn’t

First, it was a tight neck. Then a sore shoulder. Then my lower back. I realized I was hunching, constantly craning my neck down toward my laptop screen.
A physiotherapist later told me: “Your posture is collapsing.” Yep, collapsing. Not exactly the design critique I expected.

That’s when I went down the rabbit hole of ergonomics.

🧠 What I Learned About Desk Ergonomics

It turns out:

• Your screen should be at eye level

• Your wrists should be straight

• And your posture should be upright, not slouched like a shrimp

But stacking books under my laptop didn’t work. They wobbled. They weren’t adjustable. And frankly, they made my desk look like a college dorm.

🔍 Discovering Rmour

I stumbled upon Rmour’s Maxtand 2.0 Slim in a Reddit thread about pro design setups.
The reviews all said the same thing:
✅ Solid.
✅ Precise.
✅ Worth it.

I hesitated at first—wasn’t it overkill? But after one more week of shoulder spasms, I hit add to cart.

💻 What Changed with Rmour

Within minutes of setting it up, I noticed:

• I was finally looking straight at my screen—no more “tech neck”

• My shoulders relaxed

• My spine was straight

• And I actually felt… focused

The stand’s gear-lock system let me adjust it to the exact height and angle I needed. It didn’t budge—even when I typed aggressively or moved around.
It wasn’t just better posture. It was better work.

✨ Bonus: It Travels With Me

As a freelancer, I don’t just work from home. I take my laptop to cafés, coworking spaces, and (once a year) an Airbnb in Lisbon.
The Maxtand folds flat, slides into my backpack, and sets up in seconds.
No wrenches. No hex keys. Just me, my laptop, and gear that respects my body.

🙌 From Functional to Foundational

Today, I don’t even think about posture anymore—because my setup does the work for me.

Rmour’s not just a stand. It’s the foundation of my workflow. It supports the way I think, create, and deliver.

If you're a designer, coder, writer—or just someone who spends way too much time on a screen—take it from me:

👉 Your posture deserves better. So does your work.
