Does the picture looks familiar to you?





Well, many people have the wrong sitting posture. Especially in the office environment, which we often use the computers for the most of the times.


Pressures in supported sitting are 40% more than standing.

It creates a backward tilt, flattening of low back and forward shift in Center of Gravity.

It places load on discs and posterior structures of vertebral segments.

In standing, natural curvature of lumbar spine is increased, reverse for sitting.



Prolonged sitting in flexed position may increase resting length of erector spinae muscles.

(overstretch the back of the ligament structure)

This means, you may have a kyphosis posture.

Relationship between back and abdominals

Hey everyone, I am back!!! Was busy for the past months...hardly had time to update my blog :) Some Important facts that i had found...here it goes (enjoy reading ^_^)

The Imortance of Strong Abdominal Muscles
- Some 80% of all Americans will experience low-back pain in their lifetime.
- If you are a weekend athelte, have poor posture, an imbalance in upper/lower abdominal area strength, and are overweight, you're even more at risk.
- You don't have to be an anatomy expert to realise that when it comes to back pain, weak abdominal muscles are often the culprit.
- Abdominal strength is the glue that keeps your back strong. Your back's strongest ally is its abdominal muscles.
- Abdominal muscles support the back, and without the asistance of the back and stomach muscles, your spine would collapse.
- Strong abdominal muscles are critical to general health, good fitness, and a strong, pain-free back.
- That's why people with low-back pain invariably sport abdominal muscles that are much weaker than their lower-back muscles.
