Pain In The Neck, Back And Wallet

The answer to this however is most likely no.

When you sit down you may well be stable, but at the same time you are continually using muscles to do it. Research has suggested links of various conditions to chair warming including heart disease, diabetes, vein thrombosis, obesity and cancer. If you are an office worker you probably spend at least six or seven hours a day sitting on the job. Add more time sitting in the car, at dinner and lounging with some late night TV and the total hours of sitting rockets up to somewhere around ten hours.

A Positive Posture

Sit with your legs uncrossed with ankles in front of the knees.

Place both feet firmly on the floor. Get yourself a foot support if your feet dont reach.

Your knees should be lower than your hips and the back of your knees should not touch the seat.

If your chair has an adjustable backrest, move it to support the arch in your low back. If you dont have a backrest, ask your employer about getting one or invest in one yourself. Get up and move around every hour. Take a break from sitting even if you cannot stop working. Make a phone call standing up or if you are very lucky and have the chance, close your office door and lie down for a few minutes on your stomach. At the very least, shift your sitting position occasionally.

Other research has shown that sitting up straight might not actually be so good for your back. A study by doctors advice used back supports or foot supports it will provide you comfort to support while you at work.
