Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Anybody know at what point you are to sit for a 135 degrees? Nov. 29, 2006 -- Lean back before reading this; your back may thank you. A new study suggests that sitting upright for hours at a time -- for example, when working at a computer -- may lead to chronic back painback pain. Instead, the best position for your back is somewhat reclined, sitting at a 135-degree angle rather than the 90-degree angle most office chairs are designed for. " A 135-degree body-thigh sitting posture was demonstrated to be the best biomechanical sitting position, as opposed to a 90-degree posture, which most people consider normal, " says researcher Waseem Amir Bashir, MBChB, clinical fellow in the department of radiology and diagnostic imaging at the University of Alberta Hospital, Canada, in a news release. " Sitting in a sound anatomic position is essential, since the strain put on the spine and its associated ligaments over time can lead to pain, deformity and chronic illness.
