Dr Adriaan Liebenberg My Spine Explained | Page 61

Sitting:
When sitting, the chair you
are using must have proper
back and arm support. To
stand up, move forward on the
chair. Push up with your arms
and use your strong thigh
muscles to stand, while keep-
ing your back straight.

These photos demonstrate how to sit. Note how the top left picture shows how
to sit properly and the other two photos show poor posture that increases the
strain on the spine and specifically the joints and the intervertebral discs.
