Posture Tips

One more important factor that is to be noted while sitting in a chair is that the feet should sit flat on the floor. It is must to have a correct posture that the level of the knee should be to the level of the hip or slightly above and surely not below the hip level. But in case your chair which you are using now is not helping to put your feet down the best suggestion is to put some thing under your feet which can act as a platform thus bringing your knee to the hip level. A telephone diary would be a nice choice to be used as a platform.


A chair with reclining facility will also be beneficiary. Though you are not going to sleep in the chair but it helps to move the weight from the lower section to the back of your body. Thus the spine is given some rest from carrying all the weight. It is also necessary that the chair should be placed close to the desk as it helps in reading or typing without leaning much to see it.

When the chair is placed close to the desk this will also ensures that you sit in an upright position in order to type or read from the desk. And it has to be placed at an angle rather than flat as it might make you lean more towards the desk for reading or typing it. also when you are working with the computer that screen should be below the eye level and near the front desk so that you might not have to read it by leaning forward.



The tip which you might have come across a lot and also an important one is that to take short breaks at regular intervals as this will help relaxing your back and put the muscles in action. So do try to take five minutes of interval like a small walk or something will do for every hour. This will really help reduce the inactiveness in the muscles thus making you to be refreshed with energy to continue your work.
