2. Lifting Heavy Objects Wrongly

3. Your lower back should be supported to give you a
good posture.
You should be able to rest your feet flat on the floor
with your knees at right angles.
Your arm rests should be adjustable so that you can
sit comfortably in your chair.
If these do not apply to your Office Chair, you may
need to get a new Office Chair to support you more!

4. I have done a lot of research into the best
ergonomic chair for a person over the age of 50,
and found that a Task Ergonomic Chair is the
best type of chair for an older person with back
pain.

7. Everyone has different measurements and
is a different size, so you should adjust
your chair to suit you every time you sit in
the chair.

8. The body is not designed to be sitting down for
extended periods of time, and even having an
ergonomic chair will not ensure that you are pain
free, unless it has been adjusted correctly.
Procedure to adjust your chair correctly:
1. Sit at your desk, squarely in front of your computer.
2. Your elbows should be resting slightly above the desk,
get in this position by adjusting the seat height.
3. Your thighs should be at 90 degree angles, this may
mean getting a footrest if your feet are not touching the
floor.
4. Adjust the horizontal seat depth, until you are sitting
firmly against the back rest and have a small gap
between the back of your legs and the seat pad.

9. Exercises at your desk:
Lower Back Stretch: Sit tall and place the left arm behind
left hip. Gently twist to the left, using the right hand to
deepen the stretch, holding for 20-30 seconds. Repeat
on the other side.
Hip Flexion: Sit tall with the abs in and lift the left foot off
the floor a few inches, knee bent. Hold for 2 seconds,
lower and repeat for 16 reps. Repeat on the other side.
Leg Extension: Sit tall with the abs in and extend the left
leg until it's level with hip, squeezing the quadriceps.
Hold for 2 seconds, lower and repeat for 16 reps. Repeat
on the other side.
Inner Thigh: Place towel, firm water bottle or an empty
coffee cup between the knees as you sit up tall with the
abs in. Squeeze the bottle or cup, release halfway and
squeeze again, completing 16 reps of slow pulses.
