The most correct sitting posture! !

When you think that sitting down relieves the burden on your feet, where does this burden go? Whichever way you think, you'll find that the back is a victim of this transfer. If the index of the load on the spine when standing is set as 100, when sitting upright it is equivalent to 150, and when sitting bent it is 185. People with back pain often suffer from back pain when their entire body sinks into a sofa or chair, causing the spine to become C-shaped. Therefore, how you sit is very important.

People should be kind to their spine. If the chair is not designed to support the concave curve of the lower back, it is best to put a cushion or pillow. In short, it will give your spine something to lean on. And no matter what kind of chair you sit on, don’t sit in it for too long.

General sitting posture

1. The height of the chair should allow your feet to step on the ground smoothly, or place your feet on a low box or stool with your knees higher than your hip joints. The burden on your back is naturally lighter. You can sit with your legs crossed or place your legs on a low stool.

2. Keep your back straight and your waist should be close to the back of the chair or have appropriate support to maintain the spine curve. The head and shoulders should not be tilted forward to avoid causing pressure on the cervical and thoracic vertebrae.

3. The height of the tabletop should be such that when the human body is sitting down, the hands can be stretched flat on the tabletop. It is not advisable to hang the wrist or elbow when writing, and it is not advisable to lean the upper body or neck forward.

4. The height of the computer screen should be at eye level. When typing, keep your wrist and forearm in a straight line. Do not type too hard on the keyboard, and try to keep your muscles in a relaxed state. Make sure you work for 1 hour and take a 5-10 minute break.

5. When something falls and needs to be picked up, do not twist your body or make unnatural postures and movements. Instead, rotate or move the chair to face the object on the ground, with your feet slightly spread apart from the objects. Side, keep your back straight, bend your knees, and lean forward.

Sofa sitting posture

1. You cannot choose a sofa that makes your body sink deeply.

2. Support the lower back with the back of the chair to maintain the physiological curve of the lumbar spine. If necessary, place a pillow or pillow in the depression of the waist to assist the lumbar spine.

3. The sitting time should not be too long. The principle is 15 to 20 minutes, and the frequency of posture changes should be increased.

4. When watching TV, you should sit at a proper distance in front of you. Do not sit on the side and turn your head to watch TV, which will cause the neck muscles to continue to tighten and become stiff.

Getting up

Standing up suddenly is often the beginning of pain and injury. Move your buttocks to the front edge of the chair first, then stand up with your hands supporting the armrests.

Sitting in one position for a long time is tantamount to chronic suicide. Don't let the word "lazy" affect your health. Occasionally stand up, stretch your legs, walk, and sit down again; the same principle applies when driving.
