Three Easy Steps to Correct Sitting Posture

Almost all of us sit for many hours each day. We sit at the breakfast table.

We sit while traveling to work. We spend hours sitting in front of a desk. Then we come home to sit at the dinner table. Finally we relax for hours sitting on the couch watching TV.

Most of us spend very little time thinking about how we sit. Yet poor posture while sitting will lead to back pain as your spine is forced into an unnatural position for hours on end. Today you’re about to discover three easy steps to sitting correctly — almost automatically.

Step 1: Be aware of how you sit
Take a moment when you sit down to check your sitting posture. Scoot all the way back so your lower back rests against the back support of the seat. Your back should be straight. If your seat causes you to lean back or your head to push forward the next two steps will help.

Step 2: Choose a quality chair
A good chair will work wonders for your sitting posture. Choose a chair with an arched seat back to provide support for good posture throughout the day. Look for a seat without a head rest which pushes your head forward

Step 3: Use a back support pillow
Have a bad chair or car seat? All is not lost. Use a well designed back support pillow to provide the right lumbar support and you’ll maintain proper back posture in even the worst of seats.

Please keep in mind this is just one way to combat lower back pain and that there are many other lower back pain treatments available.
