How Can I Avoid Pain When I’m Less Active? The Correct Sitting Posture At Work

Ears in line with shoulders. If you’re leaning too far forward or backward, your posture is off-kilter. Use this trick whenever you’re sitting at your desk. Pull back shoulder blades. Drawing them back and down will bring your chest up and out, and help you avoid getting rounded shoulders. Using a lumbar pillow. A lumbar support pillow does some of the work for you by supporting your spine. You’ll be forced into the correct position every time you sit down. For a quicker fix, use a folded or rolled-up towel. Uncross those legs. The correct way to sit in a chair requires you to place your feet flat on the ground. That means no crossing your legs or sticking them out in front of you. Get up and move. Sitting for long periods of time is really terrible for the body. Your blood flows slower, abdominal muscles get weaker, bones get thinner due to inactivity and your life expectancy decreases.
