Here is how to correct your sitting posture at work.
Simple, quick, straightforward. Ignoring these simple tips can cause lower back pain, neck pain and headaches.
You'll discover why the lumbar support of the office chair is the most important element for posture and ergonomics, and why your feet need to be on the floor (at worst, on a footrest).
Remember: slouching increases the risk of disc hernia, and creates forward head posture and rounded shoulders! ---
Pain in the back, shoulder, arms or any other musculoskeletal pain should not govern your life.
A lot of the pain you feel is caused or aggravated by wrong posture, poor ergonomics and a lack of specific exercises for your muscles and joints. Giving you the tools to resolve these issues is the reason why I created this self care channel.

Thanks man. I just applied your "put your keyboard where your hands are and your screen here your eyes are" and felt the support from my feet and it felt better right away :)

Lots of people stop good posture before the muscles adapt. They feel pain/discomfort and they just stop but the thing is you will suffer way way more in the long run by not getting used to good posture now.

Yeah I read it takes 11 minutes for your vertebrae or something to set in a position so hunching will probably feel more comfortable to most people. But if you do this as well as posture exercises, after 2 weeks it will feel so much easier as your spine adapts. I do posture exercises throughout the day, it definitely helped me. Someone even asked me if I’ve been working out because I look healthier 😂 I also avoid scrolling on my phone in bed and I sleep without a pillow. This last thing really helped me straighten out my forward neck posture. I find sleeping without a pillow more comfortable than with one now lol

I tried many times to sit this "vertical" against the lumbar support but I always end up "falling" forward with the upper body. Is this normal? I ended up reclining a lot. I'm comfortable but I know my neck doesn't like it.

Try to do posture exercises and stretch your neck and back muscles, it will get easier. Don’t give up! Your body is used to your usual hunched position so you need to give it time to adjust to the correct one. It will feel weird and painful at first but posture exercises & stretching can help to slowly get rid of that. It’s okay if you fall forward again, just keep reminding yourself to sit straight when that happens or like try to hold a right position for 10 minutes at a time with short breaks in between and see if you can gradually increase the 10 minutes. I believe in you

what I want is for someone to invent a reliable small table top that can be attached to the arm rest of my chair. I still can't find one online... with wireless keyboard and mouse, these item would have been mainstream already but nobody dares to make one.

Should our weight be leaning into the back rest? Im so confused why im getting pain in my lower back. Moving my backrest forward hurts as it digs in and pushes me forward. When i reclined the backrest though i feel like im going to break it as all my weight hoes into it.

@OlivierGirard 10 ай бұрын

It should... but only in the lower part of the backrest. Have a look at this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/irWUkshmzsCdpIE.html

Hey olivier, my head tilts forward because of forward head posture, should i slightly tuck my chin in?

@OlivierGirard 8 ай бұрын

No no... you should attack the root causes of forward head posture by either joining on of my guided posture programs (oliviergirard.ch/en/posture-academy-online-program/) or following on your own this 8-week protocol: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b8dlqs5908qZZH0.html
