What is good posture?

The main portions of a person's body are correctly aligned and supported by the appropriate amount of muscle tension when they have good posture.

Good posture can help by:

• reducing strain on the body during movement and exercise
• reducing wear and tear on the joints, muscles, and ligaments
• maintaining balance while moving and exercising
• reducing the risk of muscle strain and overuse conditions
• improving spine health

When concentrating on something else, people usually adopt a sitting posture unconsciously. In part, a person's sitting posture is determined by the type of apparatus they employ, which may include a chair:

• office chair
• armchair
• ergonomic chair
• stool
• beanbag
• car seat

Types of sitting posture includeTrusted Source:

• upright, with or without lumbar support
• one knee crossed over the other
• ankles crossed
• hunched forward
• slumped backward
• kneeling
• cross-legged
• slouching to one side
• perched on the edge of the seat

Best sitting position

The best sitting position depends on a person’s height, the chair they use, and the activity they are doing while sitting.

A person can improve their posture and achieve a proper sitting position by:

• keeping the feet flat or resting them on the floor or a footrest
• avoiding crossing the knees or ankles
• maintaining a small gap between the back of the knees and the chair
• positioning the knees at the same height or slightly lower than the hips
• placing the ankles in front of the knees
• relaxing the shoulders
• keeping the forearms and knees parallel to the floor where possible
• holding the elbows at the sides, creating an L-shape in the arms
• sitting up straight and looking forward without straining the neck
• keeping the back against the chair or using a backrest or cushion if there are places where the back does not comfortably meet the chair, especially in the lower back region
• avoiding sitting for extended periods, ideally taking at least a 10-minute break for every hour of sitting
• switching positions regularly
