Ergonomic advice:


There is no such thing as a perfect sitting posture but some are much worse than others.

In example 1 below you can see that this is a short person, feet off the floor and slumped forwards.

Example 2 shows a taller person leaning back. This position gives some rest to the back muscles whilst at the same time tending to compress the spine adversely.

Example 3 is the perceived ideal. It will do the least harm.

Example 4 is the worst position. It causes the most spinal disc compression and puts strain on almost all of the spinal muscles.


  • Sitting slumped to one side with the spine bent.

  • Keeping the knees, ankles, or arms crossed for long periods.

  • Dangling or not properly supporting the feet, get a footstool.

  • Sitting for a long time in one position, vary your position. Sit and stand desks are great for this.

  • Straining the neck downwards for long periods while looking at a monitor, telephone screen, or document

  • Sitting in a position that does not fully support the back, especially the lower back

  • Sitting for an extended period without taking a break

  • Support the forearms on the desk, ensure that any chair arms do not prevent you getting close enough to the desk.

  • Exercising for at least 30 minutes three times a week, focusing on a mix of stretching, strengthening, and aerobic activities

  • Trying not to stay in any one position for too long, changing position or activity every hour

  • Using a hands-free device for long calls

  • Keeping any screens at eye or chest level when reading to reduce neck and upper back strain

  • Sitting up straight and looking directly forward when reading mobile screens or monitors

  • Lifting heavy objects by bending the legs rather than using the back

  • Keeping heavy loads close to the body when lifting or carrying them

  • Adjusting the seat when driving to support the back without straining and to allow the knees to bend

  • Placing lumbar support cushions on seats, including car seats, thus reducing lower back strain

  • Wearing comfortable, supportive, or orthopedic shoes when standing for long periods of time

  • Walking with a straight spine and trying to avoid slumping or leaning

  • Swinging the arms briskly and evenly when walking, jogging, or running
