How Is Your Back Posture?

By: James Encabo Morgan (Apr 10, 2009 05:47 pm)

Who can remember back to when they were kids and being told all about their Back Posture? I can certainly remember my parents telling me to sit up straight in my chair and to stop slouching. Sitting in my chair now after working all day takes my mind back to when I used to suffer from pain due to my bad Back Posture.

You really have to consider what you were told by your parents and teachers about Back Posture when you were younger. What they were telling you is actually spot on. If you don't sit properly in your chair and slouch around then you will suffer from a lot of back pain. Whether we chose to believe what we were told or not good Back Posture is essential if we want to live pain free.

There are a number of things to consider with Back Posture. The first thing to consider is how you stand. Good Back Posture requires you to stand up straight and tall with your stomach sucked in, but not to the extent where you exaggerate the arch in your back. Then you need to ensure that you stand with your head nice and straight, chin level with the ground and imagine that you have a book on your head. I remember doing this as a kid as well. Dont forget to push out your chest, but again, you dont want to overly bend or arch your back too much.

Getting a good quality mattress for your bed and pillows is the second thing you can do for good Back Posture. There is not a real lot you can do about the way you sleep, unless you tie yourself into position I guess, but if you have the right equipment then you will be able to reduce or eliminate any potential problems. There are many good mattresses and pillows that are designed especially for your Back Posture.

Sitting is the third thing and most common way we can ensure our Back Posture is looked after. Depending on your occupation you could be sitting for very long periods of time in the one spot with little or no movement. Sitting in the correct manner is obviously extremely important and is the place where we tend to slouch the most.

Many studies have shown that it is almost impossible to maintain good Back Posture without assistance. Not only that but maintaining good Back Posture also takes some effort. I am sure you can all think of times when you have been sitting in a chair for extended periods and tried to sit up straight only to find that after a short period you began to slouch.

Using a kneeling chair or other purpose built ergonomic chair is the best way to ensure we are looking after our Back Posture when in a seated position. Good quality chairs are designed for this purpose with a back rest to lean back against, a kneeling pad for our shins to lean against and a seat that is sloping forward to take the weight off the lower back. Having the ability to adjust everything is also ideal as is the ability to gently rock back and forward whilst sitting to keep the body active.

Those of you who sit for long periods of time for whatever reason and who already suffer from back pain will find a good Back Posture Kneeling Chair to be extremely beneficial in both relieving and preventing back pain when sitting. You will be able to sit for longer periods of time without feeling any discomfort and will also find that good Back Posture in one of these chairs will aid in the recovery of backs already damaged from sitting incorrectly.
