Sitting technique to help your lower back

Sitting for long periods can be a rough day for the lower back 😫

There is a fairly significant increase of load on the discs of the lumbar spine when we are siting in a chair, versus standing up ➡️ so how we sit can be important for the long-run.

The type of chair is also important - some will place either more or less load on the spine depending on the amount of support and the way you use it.

With a typical office chair, the SIT, SLIDE, LEAN technique can be helpful to set yourself in a better position and minimise some of that load.

The problem with me and office chairs is complicated, am sort of obese(110kg) so when i sit like that the chair leans a little more back because of my weight and it puts a load on my lower back

but when i sit on a fixed chair, like any hard plastic chair, or a sofa I'd be really comfortable and there'll be no load on my lower back, because the fixed back rest takes away all the load of my weight, but when i sit on an office chair, specially a mesh chair the problem with them is that they can lean sort back a little, even when you have made it fixed it moves a little back(it happens to me cus am heavy, a normal weighing person won't have this problem i think) and its that little bit of the chair leaning Back puts my weight's load on my lower back

I think I’ve been sitting too long and have numbness down back of my hamstring and a nasty sharp pain. It’s ok when standing but pretty bad when sitting what could this be? Thank you for your help.

Creo que haces un buen trabajo pero sería importante al menos leerlo en español

Ok but what if you’re short and your legs don’t touch the floor in this position? Asking for a friend 🤣
