[Lumbar Cushions / Choosing a Good Chair]
1. Proper Use of Lumbar Cushions
- The cushion must be placed firmly against the deepest part of your lower back (behind the navel).
- Avoid pushing your hips too far back or arching your back excessively while leaning against the cushion.
- The key is to relax comfortably against the cushion, not to force a lumbar curve.
- Instead of a cushion that is too thick or hard, choose one with moderate elasticity that naturally supports your back.
- You should be free of tension throughout your body while your spine remains in a proper, upright position.
2. How to Choose a Good Chair
💡 A Word from BodyAll:
"There is no such thing as a special 'good chair.' A chair that doesn't strain your spine is simply a good chair."
"There is no such thing as a special 'good chair.' A chair that doesn't strain your spine is simply a good chair."
- A good chair is one where 'Pelvic Rolling' occurs naturally without extra effort.
- It should provide the same supported feeling as when using a lumbar cushion.
- Recommended Approach: Master the use of lumbar cushions and pelvic rolling first, then sit in the chair yourself to choose.
Once you understand the feeling of a healthy sitting posture, even a $50 chair can become a premium seat. However, if you sit poorly with a misaligned spine, even a $2,000 chair will simply be the worst tool for damaging your spine.
