'Lumbar spine' is medical terminology for 'Lower back'. A Seat lumbar support is a back
support for a chair used behind your lower back to
position the spine in proper position. Human beings were not meant to be
sitting for as long as we do. We were meant to walk and move and bend and twist
and run. But instead we sit. We sit a lot.
When we sit- we are consumed with the task at hand, it could
be endless hours of desk work, or long meetings or just TV! The position of
your spine is not necessarily even the last thing on your mind and then after
all that sitting when you try to stand up, is when you know something was not
quite right. You are right about that & what went wrong indeed is- your
posture!
Slouching in the lower back while sitting is one of the
biggest risk factors for lower back pain caused by slipped discs, strained
ligaments & weak back muscles. Your Physiotherapist, your doctor &
probably even your mother nag at you to 'sit straight'! If you ask us ' How to get
rid of lower back pain'?
Well
the answer is- a combination of the right products, body awareness &
staying active.
Yet it is quite hard, as we all feel to sit straight on our
own the whole time. Everyone knows it, yet no one does it. So the key is to use
a support that helps you to hold the right position in the spine. Every now
& again while you have to move forwards to do some work, sit tall on your
own using your back muscles & take breaks as often as you can. That's as
realistic as it can get! Doing this, will definitely make your back feel a lot
better & reduce your risk for serious back trouble.
