How to Sit in an Office Chair?

Constant back pains and spasms in your head at work can be a direct result of your posture while sitting in your office chair. In the long hours of hard working we hardly pay attention to our posture.

This gives birth to myriad medical complications.

In this blog we will discuss how all these back problems can be solved in a couple of easy steps.
First of all, just buying an ergonomic chair will not help. There are a lot of other things that you need to take care of.

1. Height of Your Workstation

The ideal height of your workstation should be first determined based on the work that you will be doing, the hours you will be working and your height. The ideal height of the chair should be in line with the working table.

2. Sit Deep in Your Chair

Once you have set the right height for your workstation the next thing is how you sit in the chair. You must sit as deep as you can in your chair with your spine in line with the back of your chair. Do not slouch forward. Most of the complications arrive due the spine elongation which occurs when a person slouches over his chair.

3. Sit Close to Your Desk

Sit up close enough to your work station so that your arms are parallel to your spine. Make sure to pull up for keyboard so that your posture is not disturbed.

4. A Tiny Cushion is a Must

The lower back should be pressed again the back of your chair. Make sure you slit in a tiny cushion that support the natural arc of your lower back. 

5. Keep your chin up

We know it’s hard to care about the high chin when you are chasing a deadline. But it’s equally important for you to avoid getting your chin too close to your chest, this will lead to back pain and brain spasms. 

6.Take deep breathe

The involuntary breathing system needs to be monitored if you are feeling light headaches. It’s the reducing level of oxygen that is causing your head to hurt. So take a moment breathe deeply.

7. Take breaks

The deadlines can wait for a couple of minutes while you exercise your neck, wrist and back. It may seem to a time lost but it will benefit you with an increase concentration and comfort for the next hour before you take a break again.

The above simple steps when followed will definitely reduce your back pains and help you with greater concentration.
