Sitting too straight easily hurts back

Instead of sitting up straight to create a 90-degree angle throughout the working day, you should take advantage of the opportunity to lean back in your chair to reduce harm to the spine.

Applying postural magnetic resonance imaging, osteoarthritis specialists of Woodend Hospital (Scotland) found that prolonged upright posture is one of the common causes of back pain, but is rarely noticed. I mean.

In a straight-up posture, the body forms a 90-degree angle, the movement of the spinal disc becomes most obvious. At that time, the pressure caused by body weight to the intervertebral disc and muscle and tendon groups is the largest. This condition continues every few hours every day, leading to chronic aches and pains.

If sitting slightly leaning back, the spinal disc is least displaced, so the musculature and back bone are relaxed, avoiding long-term consequences.

Therefore, office workers and those who do the work must sit regularly so pay attention to adjust posture and choose the type of chair that allows sitting slightly backwards to maintain spinal health.
