Just for other would be developers who are too young to know.
Don't use a bad seat for 15 years and don't sit funny and not for long periods. Also find ways to stretch your leg muscles from the calf up every couple of days (A good 30 mins). Almost every time I had a major back outage stemmed from my left leg muscles which pull on your lower back when tight.
A great invention would be a seat/table which started at 0 degrees and over the course of the day moves to 45 degree recline so that weight is constantly redistributed to different parts of the skeleton.
- emeraldd 9y agoAnother one I've run into, make sure that the surface of your chair is level (left to right). There have been several cases where I've run into issues because either the chair seat itself was bent or a bushing at the bottom of the lift tube had failed introducing a few degrees of tilt. Barely enough to notice, but enough to throw your back out of line over the course of several hours.
- jefflombardjr 9y agoWhat about a standing desk or walking desk?
- NittLion78 9y agoI think standing desks are great. I usually use mine for about half the day and adjust it to a seated position for the rest of the day. I will say, though, that while standing or sitting, your posture will dictate how well that time is spent - it's pretty easy to mess up either one. If you stand with your shoulders back and the weight evenly distributed on your hips and back, it should be possible to stand for many hours at a time. If you sit, making sure you sit up straight and keep your spine curved naturally and making sure you get up a few times to keep your circulation going in your extremities, you should reduce most of sitting's bad effects.
