How to Sit Right and Sit Less for a Healthy Spine
- posted: Jun. 06, 2017
We had a fantastic Spinal Health week at McKenzie Chiropractic, and this years’ message of How to Sit Right and Sit Less for a Healthy Spine applies to all of us and it's a message we don’t want to forget now that Spinal Health Week has concluded.
So why not improve your health by standing up and moving around a little more? It’s important to take regular breaks from sitting to stretch, stand, change or correct your posture or walk around your office.
And while you are sitting, here are a few things to keep in mind…
· Keep your hips, elbows and knees at open angles (slightly more than 90 degrees)
· Recline slightly to ease lower back pressure
· Ensure your feet are flat on the floor or on a footrest
· Position the centre of your computer screen at eye level and tilt the monitor upwards slightly
· Only use wrist rests while resting, not while typing
Many of you have downloaded and are enjoying the Sit Right Widget onto your computer to remind you to take regular break from sitting. I have included the link here if you would like to try this widget.
Remember, an active spine is a healthy spine and a healthy spine leads to a healthier life.
So, make it a priority to learn how to sit right today.
