Most people suffer from back pain at some point in their lives. Pain in the lower back is especially common, although you can experience pain anywhere along your spine. Back pain is also one of the biggest causes of work absences, with sprains, strains and posture problems accounting for the majority of cases.<\/p>\n

With most of us spending much of the day seated at our desks, a correctly adjusted chair can help support your back properly and reduce strain.<\/p>\n

What good posture looks like

\u201c…the all-new Secretlab TITAN Evo offers the most advanced support on any gaming chair to date, setting a new bar for personalized comfort and ergonomic performance.\u201d \u2014 Your Health, Your Pharmacy, National Pharmacy Association<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Poor posture can negatively affect your health, and slouching or slumping can weaken your spine, decrease flexibility, and even affect your overall balance. Here\u2019s how you should really be sitting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure your back is fully supported. <\/strong>Get a chair with a full-length backrest and adjustable lumbar support, so it can support the natural curve of your lower back. Your chair should also be firm enough to support your spine in a neutral position. Avoid soft seats \u2014 they do a poor job of maintaining a healthy posture.<\/p>\n

Keep your elbows close to your body. <\/strong>They should be bent between 90 and 120 degrees and supported by your chair\u2019s armrests. Your armrests should be adjustable, so they can be set level with your desk when needed, and go low enough when you need to slide them under your desk to sit closer.<\/p>\n

Set your feet flat on the floor. <\/strong>You should be able to keep your feet comfortably on the floor to support yourself in a healthy, neutral position. Your thighs and hips should also be parallel to the ground, and your knees bent at roughly 90 degrees. Adjust your chair so it\u2019s just the right height for you.<\/p>\n

Relax your shoulders. <\/strong>They should not be rounded or pulled backwards.<\/p>\n
