About Your Posture: Looks Like Mom Was Wrong, After All …

By Sheryl | May 12, 2008

Buckingham Palace Guards
UPDATE: Ed. from Blawg Review sez this is the perfect chair. Hey, so does the manufacturer! Consensus is cool. (It does look comfy, no?)

“Sit up straight!”

Remember that old Mom-ism? Turns out dear old Mom (sorry Mom!) might have been wrong after all.

Research shows the ideal posture is not straight-back upright, which apparently causes low-back strain (actually, I could have told them that some time ago). Rather, you should recline at a 135 degree angle.

So consider this your permission slip to kick the feet up and lean back in your office chair. (You do have a reclining office chair, right? Go get one. These are nice. So I’m told.)

    Ergonomic chairs are great. I recently bought a BalanceBall Chair from Gaiam and it has actually cut back on my back pain.
