Sitting posture:
When working at computer or at desk, keep your head balanced directly over spine as much as possible.
- That means setting your chair height so both your feet can rest on the ground,
- Sitting with your buttocks far back in your chair,
- Using a small pillow to support your lower back if needed.
Short break
Taking a short break each hour to either walk around or stand up is good goal for reducing stress on spine from sitting.
Some apps for phones and computers can set automatic reminders about using good posture, taking breaks, and/or doing gentle neck stretches at desk throughout day.
