How to Correct Your Posture for True Comfort

I can't help noticing the wildly creative ways people actually sit in their chairs. The slouch takes on so many different forms I've lost count. And every once in a while I see someone sitting with their leg under them as if they need more height to see their computer screen.

Not good! Where are the Posture Police when you need them? I don't mean to nag. It's just that good "neutral" posture is the cornerstone of comfort and pain prevention. (I can relate, I myself am a reformed sloucher.)

So, what do the experts mean by "neutral posture?" With your feet on the floor, adjust the height of your chair so your knees are at a 90-degree angle and your thighs are parallel to the ground. Adjust your armrests so your shoulders are in a relaxed position and your elbows are at 90-degree angles. Distribute your weight evenly and use the entire seat and backrest to support your body.

This is neutral posture. You'll be surprised by the difference it makes in your productivity and comfort.

Forward-tilt chairs and chairs with level seats and slightly reclined backrests support this posture.

Our experts are available to assist you in adjusting your chair for the ultimate in comfort. You can reach them toll-free at 1-877-696-3342.

Don't own an ergonomically adjustable chair? Lucky for you I know the perfect place to get one.
