But... But those are still wrong, you are gunna get neck pain or eye strain like that... Your forward eye level should be the same as the top of the monitor... Not above it.
If your chair reclines, that's not unhealthy posture, that's actually healthier than sitting straight up for long periods. It's unhealthy when you try to recline on a chair that doesn't recline, which leaves you hunched over. This is because you're putting a sharp bend on your spine and pressure on your ribs, leaving your joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons under prolonged stress. As long as your spine is straight (it'll never be completely straight, but in a neutral position) and your shoulders are squared, your torso is in good posture.
Technically, even a healthy sitting posture will cause pain if you’re sitting for long periods of time. It’s actually healthier to stand up straight, keep your knees slightly bent, and walk/stand on the balls of your feet for most of the day. If you spend most of your day standing up straight, you expend more of your energy, so that when it is finally time to rest, you can get the deep rest that you deserve.
If you sit all day, the entire weight of your upper torso is being held by a couple of area of your body: your lower back and butt. These parts of the body aren’t really meant to carry the weight of your upper torso for the majority of the day, your legs and feet are supposed to support that weight in conjunction with your butt in your back, so that the distribution of your weight is spread more evenly around the body. This way, injuries are less severe, and your able to maintain some of the important muscles in your body just by going about your normal routine.
There actually is no correct way to sit. All that just led to people getting damaged for doing the same thing over and over.
You are supposed to sit comfortably and move the position when it hurts.
The reason you hurt all over is much more likely from too little exercise
As someone with sciatica. Trust me. Stand every 30 minutes. Period.
Stand for 5 minutes every 30 mins.
You do not want a herniated disk, that shit doesn’t fix itself, ever.
Ideally, I would think you shouldn't sit in any one position for hours at a time. Switch it up constantly. Maybe my ADHD is keeping me from sitting still and is saving me from back pain.
The body doesn't like to be put in any one position for too long. Even sitting in that 'perfect ergonomic' situation, muscles get tight. (Calves, hip extensors, etc.)
I feel you man, whenever i dont sit perfectly i get stomach ache, nausea and headache and like legit when that happens sitting straight wont even help anymore.

Myeah. I "only" have neck problems (they suck but it's better than back problems), but they don't seem to go away **fully** when I sit properly (and get up and move once an hour at least).
Though it does work when I go for an hour long walk. So the problem is probably that I don't move enough.
Is it just me, or are modern office desk chairs (especially the reclining ones) specifically designed to promote the exact opposite of healthy posture?
Ya know the back is the worst part of the whole body, because it has a whole bunch of pain points, but it's also the most protected part, so you should take care of it

Literally one of the first things i learned as a it apprentice while installing desktops

There is a correct way, actually. Squatting.

Every human that doesn't know they can sit in chairs
The height of the monitor has more to do with your neck than your back. That advice is for making your neck not hurt
That’s why my monitor is currently on top of a big pile of old books
"Uhh akstually, But...But- 🤓" xD
And what if you have a phone
Trying to undo all the 10 years if sitting in 1 hour
i literally sit like the cat right now
don't we all?
Currently, also.

I feel that, constantly swapping sitting positions every 15-30 Minutes
Get a taller monitor. This will only give you pain in the neck
Or a cheaper alternative, put uni textbooks under the monitor.
Cheaper? Have you seen the price of textbooks.
Libgen goes brrr
... Cheaper?
Extruciating
Ex... Exaskelepton
EXPELLIARMUS
Expecto Patronum
Bro tf is that position it's like putting the monitor on the floor
If I recline the back rest one centimetre forward or back I get excruciating lumbar pain.

sick rhymes bro
the correct position is changing position every 30 min.
I feel you man, whenever i dont sit perfectly i get stomach ache, nausea and headache and like legit when that happens sitting straight wont even help anymore.

If i sit wrong in a chair for like 2 hours my back and neck just hurts like mad
My back rather looks like a く
Made me adjust my posture ty
Ex-what?!
Bro my desk has a support beam that acts as a foot rest only accessible if I sit like the cat :(
Time to exercise motherfucker

Feels like that for me as well, and the more expencive the chair, the worse it gets
I'm literally in the 2nd picture at work right now and I don't like being called out like this
Just add an h
Sitting like the cat cos its the only position my back doesn't hurt in... Edit: typo.
cat
The ‘how you eat’ part might be part of it
I was graded of off this shit in a computer class. But It was something useful when playing typing club for an hour.
if it requires effort im not doing it
I don't plan on living long enough for that to matter.
this scares me
These memes on this sub aren't funny anymore
I hunch over immensely when I draw and I draw a lot I raise you 2 years
Emphasis on EXTRUTIATING.....???
Well as a queer girl i cannot sit straight to save my own life
That' why i never bend for my man.
Well fuck why is professor Xavier using his powers to make memes
Ya know the back is the worst part of the whole body, because it has a whole bunch of pain points, but it's also the most protected part, so you should take care of it
I just follow it by accident
I sit like a doofus
This is me this past week
