A cool guide on how to fix your posture if you work from a computer
I analyzed posture from 500+ desk workers. Here’s the simplest way to fix the most common issues.
i’m gonna give you the quick version.
your posture gets worse after about 30 mins of sitting, even when people tried to hold good posture (you can't FORCE good posture)
what’s happening:
\>upper back and deep neck muscles get tired
\>chest and hip flexors tighten
\>your body goes to the easiest position
the 2 most common problems observed:
\>forward head posture (83% of users in dataset)
\>rounded shoulders (70% of users in dataset)
you don’t fix this by reminding yourself. you fix the muscle balance.
just do these exercises (you can get fancy but try these first):
\>chin tucks
\>wall angels
\>prone y raises
\>glute bridges (hips + lower back)
stretches:
\>chest stretch
\>neck stretch
\>hip flexor stretch
\>cat cow
desk setup matters A LOT
\>screen at eye level
\>screen about an arm’s length away
more important than all of this:
stand up and move for 1–2 min every every 30 mins
what doesn't help:
\>posture braces
\>forcing perfect posture
\>expensive chairs
all you need to take away is:
\>strengthen weak muscles
\>stretch tight muscles
\>move often
i wrote way more in depth here with more data:
