Have you heard the phrase “the last drop that spilled the glass”? In this case we will be aplying this to your body too. In NeuroFT we have had multiple consults from individuals with strong symptoms without any type of accident that caused the pain in the first place. The explanation is that there is an accumulation of bad posture during their whole lives, inactivity, lack of strength and wrong techniques that come together to trigger symptoms when the body does not tolerate it anymore … A very common mistake among people in the way they sit. That is why we will now be talking about how to sit in the correctly and the consequences that this can bring if you do it in the wrong way.

A good chair is the key to sit correctly

The ideal chair to be able to sit correctly is one that has wheels at the base, and that fits ergonomically to your body. Meaning we can regulate the height of the seat and the backrest as well as its inclination. Likewise, your backrest should be bent with the shape of the back so that it provides support in the lumbar area. Another important point to mention is that the armrests are adjustable, as they can sometimes get in the way to get completely close to the table.

Posture to sit correctly

  • The soles of the feet should be flat on the groundso that the pressure in the lumbar area of ??the back is reduced. If you cannot fully support your feet on the floor, we recommend adjusting the height of your chair if possible.

  • The knees must be at 90 ° and at the same level as the hips, that is that they cannot be above the hip line, nor below it. To modify this to the correct position you can adjust the height of your chair.

  • The shoulders must be in a vertical line with the hips, for example you cannot lie down with the backrest all the way back or looking far forward either, you must stit straight and in line with the hips to avoid pain.

  • You will need to distribute the weight between the femurs, which means that the buttock should be glued to the back of the chair without resting entirely on the coccyx.

  • The back has to be straight and leaning against the backrest, which in this case should ideally be formed to the back. We recommend a chair that is shaped according to your back, in the sense of its curvature.

  • The shoulders must be relaxed, this can be achieved by leaning on the armrests or on the same table. This way we do not cause any strain on the back, shoulders or neck.

  • The head should preferably be straight, or at least you should not lower your gaze too much or raise it to be able to see the screen of your computer. If you do not achieve this you can adjust the height of your chair or buy from the special tables that raise the screens to an optimal height.

We can all sit correctly!

It is increasingly common in rehabilitation and physical therapy that there are injuries from activities of daily living that were done with the wrong posture. These small changes for you to be able to sit correctly will have a great positive impact on your life as they will help prevent injury, or help reduce pain.
