Does Poor Posture Cause Back Pain?

A Couple of Tips On Maintaining the Proper Posture While Sitting

This video discusses back pain from poor posture and sitting correctly to avoid incorrect poor posture which can potentially lead to back pain. There are few ways to make sure you are maintaining good posture while sitting. First, even though we’ve been told before about the importance of good posture especially for those of us who spend a lot of time sitting for work we still tend to forget sometimes.

You need to become aware of your posture when you are sitting. Poor posture almost always leads to muscle imbalances which in turn lead to back pain and other conditions. You can address you posture while sitting in 3 different ways:

How You Sit – Sit all the way back against the back support. You shouldn’t be leaning back or slouching in the chair.
Quality Of Seat – Sometimes the ergonomics of the chair make all the difference in maintaining proper posture. But, if you have a bad office or chair or even seat in your vehicle then you might want to consider a back support.
Back Supports – Back supports will help you to remember to sit correctly using good posture. Also, a back support can assist you with overcoming the problems of a bad chair or seat.

One such back support that we can recommend is the Freedom Back support cushion which can pretty much take any bad chair and make it better. We have found the Freedom back support cushion to be superior to others because of:

The shape or contour which helps you to maintain good posture.
The design which allows for freedom of motion in upper body, shoulders, and arms while working.
Built-in battery powered gentle, vibrating massage while working or driving.
