If you spend 8 hours per day working at a desk, then go and spend a few more hours on a home computer, it is essential you have suitable, comfortable seating. Whilst slouching down in your rickety old chair may seem to be the only way to get comfortable, and the easiest option at the time, when you're suffering the symptoms that bad posture can bring everything from back and neck pains, to headaches, fatigue and even breathing problems you will soon realise that you should have put a little more time and effort into sitting properly. With the stresses of modern life, its much easier to slouch, than sit up perfectly straight, it takes little to no conscious thought to chen forward or lean back at your desk, rather than keep your back straight and shoulders parallel, but as with many things in life, the easier option, is also the one which is going to have the most adverse effects on you. Whether it is for yourself, or for a team. It's not just sitting correctly which affects posture though, where you are plays a huge part as well. |
