Thank you very much for the video, it helps a lot understanding the reasons why instead of just doing it! Cheers!

This is so frustrating. I appreciate the video that explains the possible reasons but I was expecting more practical advice. I can't believe we don't have a solution for this in 2023. Anyways, thanks for spreading the word & raising awareness

Yes, no practical advice was given. Just vague explanations which won't really help me beyond a certain point. I've adjusted the height of the chair, the lombar support, the angle... but that is kinda common knowledge, and although most people know about it, they still slide...

the advice is to not do these things. He says it at the end: "Become aware and fix these things before you slide"

I have severe sciatic nerve pain. I think it's from sliding down to recline in my old office chair and using a foot stool. I often felt the pain after realizing how bad I was sitting so I'm almost sure that's the cause. A few years ago, I bought a $600 Titan secretlab gaming chair. The build quality seems so good but the seat depth feels too small like 20" and it's very firm so I use a memory foam pillow on it. When I lean back to recline my legs don't feel supported with or without a pillow but my back feels it's supported good sometimes. It just feels like the seat stops in the middle of my thighs far from my the back of my knees. And with the seat tilting back it puts pressure on the thighs. Maybe I should elevate legs more but then they'd be on desk blocking screen. Now I just bought another $350 office chair because I can't take it anymore but it only showed seat depth from the back. I thought it would be bigger but the seat depth is the same ugh. Plus it doesn't even have a tension nob for the spring so I can't even lean back on it unless I lock it in a reclined position. I'm only about 5'10" to 5'11". Now with all the pain it's hard to even know if I'm in a comfortable chair or position. I do walk about 10k steps a day but I also sit for maybe 4 hours at a time sometimes. I've been trying to sit with legs crossed and it seems to help or stretch my nerve. But my Titan seat depth is so small it's not comfortable on thighs. Maybe I should just stop leaning back. I don't mind sitting up for typing or playing games but I like to recline to watch tv or movies and sometimes for games. I can't just sit normally to watch a movie. Sometimes the pain is so bad I move to my bed and lay on my side but it's a bit farther away. Anyways, I don't know what to do. This new chair seems useless unless I decide to only sit up straight. Maybe I should just buy another one with bigger seat depth or maybe like a lazyboy recliner. I think some of them might have a 24" seat depth. I feel supported everywhere on those but I tried one recently and it was different. It was a low one with low back and gave me back pain. Another one I tried years ago was so perfect with a higher back but that was before I had the sciatic pain. Anyways, I don't know what to do. Any suggestions you have would be appreciated.

my suggestion is simple, but the journey will test your will: start from the root of the problem of your current situation and work outwards. begin with the fundamentals. Which is your body and mind, and their interactions with the world: the objects, tools, things that constitute your lived experience. so for your situation, your goals will be to look into the effects of sitting for prolonged periods of time on the body, and to understand and thoroughly vett the tools/things we interface with during those periods- your bed, your chairs, your couches, and the space/environment that you're in. specifically for you, after reading your story, i'd look into: I) circulation/range of motion and lymphatic stretches/exercises, both how to perform them, when, and how frequent II) your desk/workstation/monitor/tv heights and in general your chair heights and mannerisms. like OP expressed in the video, even what we consider mundane or normal positions and heights of our body, including quirks such as putting one or multiple limbs back, or preference of our viewing experience angle... straight on? slightly to the right? left? ... or if you have your wallet in your back pocket even can throw off the balance just so that, over time, can cause damage of a magnitude or onset/happening that simply catches us by surprise or completely goes unnoticed or unfelt. III) your diet at the holistic level, then narrowed down into your archetype and all that entails; preferences/tendencies/quirks, and, at the most specific, your genetic/epigenetical code and all that entails as well both in configuration and consequence. do not get it twisted. your health should not be viewed or evaluated as some sort of collection of disassosiated boxes. do not expect a solution without considering all components of the exchange; body, mind, soul of the Self and also those of the Other. . . . and do not let your consciousness get in the way of what's really going on here. there is much wisdom and answers to be learned from the countless of living things within u. the billions of organisms within each human's gut flora; to the cells themselves and their organelles; to the entire assemblies and mechanical structures that connect us all together (our veins, our organ organization and configuration, the physics that impact us the most such as the pressure levels both enacted and being enacted upon by the living and nonliving components that make up what we consider a human body.. just keep that in mind while exploring your health. we aren't just an otherwise conscious soul piloting some lifeless flesh puppet; there's countless living things within us in contract and connection; all depending on who's at the helm; all vying for its control. Good luck and enjoy the journey. - one last thing be wary of what u let in & learn for the unlearning is a severing of a bond which often is more destructive than learning or creating a connection

Just make sure you buy a chair that the sitting mat can be tilted and adjusted.

sometimes... but you also have to be careful with the way you adjust the seat pan tilt: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lbNnp5Zhqsewkok.html
