10 Tips For Proper Sitting Posture At A Computer Desk
In the modern workplace, many workers spend more than 50% of their workday in a seated position. This is why learning the proper sitting posture is so important.
Our bodies were built to move and yet we are spending an increasing amount of time in sedentary environments that minimize our physical activity levels, and also require us to sit for prolonged periods of time.
Sitting with poor posture can lead to: – Neck and back pain – Forward head posture – Rounded shoulders – Hyperkyphosis – Anterior pelvic tilt – Bulging discs – Muscle stiffness – Decreased mobility – Poor balance – Decreased athletic performance
According to the Cleveland Clinic, good posture involves positioning your body to walk, stand, sit, or lie in a position that places the least amount of strain on the supporting muscles and ligaments of your body.
Benefits of proper posture include:
– Keeps bones and joints in proper alignment to encourage efficient use of muscles. – Helps reduce abnormal wear and tear on joint surfaces. – Decreases the stress on the spinal ligaments. – Prevents abnormal spinal positions. – Prevents muscle fatigue. – Prevents injury including strains, sprains, and overuse injuries. – Contributes to a good appearance. – Improves self-esteem.
