Neutral Chair Posture Will Prevent A Day At The Office Becoming A Pain In The Neck!

A neutral chair posture places the least amount of stress in your back, yet most adults struggle to achieve it. Long inactive periods sitting at desks does tend to cause a slumped posture. Apart from looking bad it will also cause any number of physical problems such as neck, shoulder, back pain and even breathing and circulation difficulties.

You've probably tried to correct it by 'sitting up straight' but soon found it's just too uncomfortable or you soon forget to do it. Compare your sitting posture with the photographs below. You can either find a photo or ask a colleague to pick the one that matches your sitting posture.

  1. The Slump/ Slouch

This is the most common sitting posture. I have placed a white line down the center of the body from the top of the spine to compare with the other photos. Note in this position the white line passes down the front of the body so the weight of the head is pulling the spine forward putting stress on the neck and shoulder muscles. Over time this can lead to quite serious discomfort. Unfortunately sitting at a desk can do this to most people’s backs! Your breathing, circulation and digestion may suffer as a result of sitting in this position for long periods. The spine is unable to support the head as nature intended resulting in additional effort from other muscles to keep the body upright.

  2. The Forced Upright

This is probably what most people consider to be a good sitting position. However, I have put a big red arrow on it to give you a clue where she is going wrong! If your photo looks like this it is no doubt due to being told to ‘sit up straight’ as a child. I see many adults who suffer lower back pain but continue to sit like this in the belief it is ‘good for the back’. Yet when you compare this to the poised sitting posture (see number 3 below) you can see what ‘sitting up straight’ the conventional way will do for the lower back. This forced position actually shortens the spine and compresses the disks in the lower back. Over time this can lead to a deterioration of these disks and a considerable amount of discomfort. If your sitting position looks like this you are trying too hard and need to learn how to relax and let your body assume its natural, upright posture - download the posture program

    3. Poised Sitting Posture

Neutral chair posture: this position puts virtually no stress on your back as the weight of the head sits directly on top of the spine and passes directly down to the chair - see the white line. This is poised sitting and it far more desirable than the slump of forced sitting postures above. The spine can maintain its natural curves as it is not pulled out of shape by inappropriate muscular tension. This is neither forced or collapsed yet many people have difficulty assuming this posture as they do not know how to let their body balance itself. If your sitting position looks like this, and you are not holding any tension to assume it, you have a pretty good sitting posture - well done!
