We were not born to sit

According to the British Chiropractic Association 32% of the population spends more than 10 hours per day sitting. It has been found from research that the 90 degree sitting position causes greater spinal disc movement than any other sitting position.

Apparently a sitting angle of 135 degrees puts least pressure on discs. Information obtained from the BBC NEWS: bbc.co.uk.

Clearly the way forward is to keep active and maintain the muscle tone in your back. If you are struggling to get into a position where you are fit because lower back pain is limiting the level of your activity, the VertiBaX range of back products can help.
