How can I sit to get a better posture?
Posted on February 20 2019
- Always sit with your back straight and shoulders back. Sit in such a way that the back of the chair is in contact with the butt.
- While being seated, make sure all the back curves are proper. You may take the help of a rolled-up towel for this.
- You can slouch after being seated at the farther end of the chair.
- Hold while drawing yourself up accentuating the curves for a few seconds. Now, release the position by about 10 degrees. This is called the perfect sitting posture.
- Let your body weight be distributed evenly.
- Slightly bend the knees at 90°. While being seated, keep your knees at a level higher or the same level as your hips. You could use a footrest for this purpose. Do not cross your legs.
- The feet must touch the floor completely.
- Keep changing the postures every 30 minutes.
- Your chair and your workstation must be adjusted in such a way that you can sit close and can be tilted towards you. You can rest your elbows and arms on the desk or the chair while having your shoulders relaxed.
- If you use a rolling chair, do not twist at hips while being seated. Instead, turn the entire body.
- To stand up from your sitting position, slide to the edge of the chair and then get up by straightening the legs. Never bend at the waist. Immediately, do at least ten standing backends and stretch your back.
