What is the best way to sit in in my office chair?

The constant discomfort that comes along with poor posture is something that many people who spend their careers working in offices have to deal with.

Your state of mind and sense of self-confidence can both benefit from practising good posture, in addition to your physical health.

  • Adjust the seat's height so that your feet are flat on the floor and your knees are in line with (or just below) your hips. This can be done by using the adjustment feature on the seat.
  • Maintain a good posture by sitting up tall and pressing your hips against the back of the chair.
  • Adjust the back of the seat so that it forms an angle of one hundred to one hundred ten degrees. In addition to this, you need to check that both your upper and lower back are supported. You are able to accomplish this by making use of a few pillows or back supports.
  • If you do your work at a computer screen, you should ensure that you are seated at a distance of at least 20 inches from the monitor.
  • Throughout the day, remember to keep your shoulders relaxed and avoid rounding them forward or bringing them up toward your ears.
