Set your chair and desk up so you sit up straight, back of the chair upright and pushing in up underneath your shoulder blades and your abdomen pressing in to the desk.

You're locked in.

If you don't get the chair and the desk working on your behalf, you slouch, your pelvis tilts back, the 'S' shaped curve of your back becomes a 'C' shape. You end up with lower back, upper back, neck and shoulder pain.

Just thinking about sitting up straight isn't enough because as soon as you start concentrating on your work you forget to sit up straight and you fall back into the slump dog position.

I'm most grateful to the person who attended one of my seminars and followed up by sending me this cartoon drawn by one of their children.

From slump dog to sitting up straight.

Two signs you're sitting up straight: the back of your chair is bolt upright, pressing into your back and your abdomen is pressing into the desk. You're locked in.
