Toronto, ON -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/15/2014 -- Sitting all day and having a sedentary way of life are two reasons why people get bad posture. More so, sustained sitting at work or during leisure hours may have an impact on the health of the neck, spine and the entire body posture. In industrialized countries, 75% of work are being done while sitting. Thus, more emphasis should be given to occupational health and safety. However, at the given huge percentage of work being done while sitting, less emphasis was given to healthy sitting choices of employees. Health care professionals, chair designers or even the public rarely address this concern.

Individuals and employees may adopt poor sitting postures for some reasons such as designs of the chair being seated on, habitual practices while sitting, lack of motivation to achieve proper sitting practice in the office and perceived comfort. What may seem comfortable today may cause discomfort in the long run because of poor choices. Lounge chair designs which encourages long comfortable sitting such as concave bubbles and egg chairs all facilitate to poor sitting posture. Relaxed and comfortable sitting does not always mean good spinal health. In fact, the result of sitting in comfort but with poor posture is insidious in a way that it may be detrimental to the spine’s health in the long run. Poor behavior may contribute to spinal pain which does not occur until people age. Long time poor sitting behavior and posture affects the ligaments and the muscles which may result to cumulative traumatic disorders.
