Obviously I am just one data point, but I spent many years with back pain and seeing Physios who would tell me to sit with better posture. They would give me endless stretches and exercises which I would spend time every day doing and suggest I stand for half the time if possible.
No matter what I tried, sitting with good posture was never comfortable. It wasn't until I visited a physio who told me not to worry about it, that I could sit however was comfortable and it wouldn't hurt my back, people are built differently, that the pain started going away.
I challenge you to find someone who sits with good posture who -doesn't- have back pain. So my question is, why do you want to sit in a particular way? What does good mean to you?
- thrav 9y agoI’m all about the lean back. My chair is always positioned as low and as far back as it goes. Takes pressure off your spine. Distributes weight over the entire back rest, instead of just lightly touching it. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/15939377/ns/health-health_care/t/ease-back-pain-dont-sit-straight/ http://www.nbcnews.com/id/15939377/ns/health-health_care/t/e...
- johannesg 9y agoI'm a physio, and I'm so happy you were given good advice. Indeed, backs are strong and don't get damaged by sitting. Find a sitting position that's comfortable for you, because indeed, every body is different.
