Incorrect sitting can lead to various physical complaints. Leaning into a chair or sofa causes excessive local strain on the back. This is because the natural S-shape of the spine is not supported in this position. After a while, this can result in various uncomfortable complaints. You may experience backaches, muscle pains, and joint pains, as well as nerve or blood vessel compression, skin and tissue irritation, digestive issues, and even difficulty breathing. Additionally, this position makes it difficult to get up from the chair, increasing the risk of falls. Therefore, paying attention to a healthy sitting posture is crucial.
Research on back patients shows that the majority of complaints (85%) result from incorrect sitting posture.
First, let's get to know our back:
Our spine is a marvel in itself. It provides strength and protection to the body and enables movement in all directions. It carries the weight of both the lower and upper body. When viewed from the side, the spine appears in an S shape. It consists of vertebrae, discs, and cords of connective tissue that tightly bind the vertebrae. There are about 32 or 33 vertebrae that can be divided into five groups.
The intervertebral disc acts like a sponge, being 'filled' with pressure up and down. The highest tension usually occurs after a good night's sleep (when the sponge is fully filled) and decreases throughout the day. Incorrect posture or tension in the back can cause the intervertebral disc to protrude and exert pressure on a nerve, leading to pain.
The excessive depth and softness of chairs can lead to excessive sinking in the hip area and pressure on the calves, resulting in tissue compression. This can result in discomfort and burning sensation in our tissues.
Incorrect sitting posture can cause compression in the chest where our lungs are located, which can make it difficult for us to breathe during inhalation and exhalation.
Incorrect chair height, which causes our feet not to touch the ground or our knees to be excessively bent forward, can lead to swelling in our feet and excessive tightening of our muscles.
Our spine is supported by muscles, which have the task of protecting the spine against the movements we make with our bodies. When we sit with a rounded back, we overload these muscles.
Incorrect sitting not only strains our muscles and causes pain but also requires more energy.
