The Spine

SLIDE 10

Spine

Load evenly distributed
Reduces compression on the spine
Neutral position
Muscles balanced
Reduces tension on tissues
Face direction of travel (no

twisting).

Sitting/Standing

Any sustained posture over time is fatiguing
Generally sitting is generally less fatiguing
Unsupported sitting positions encourage poor

posture and should be avoided

Standing should be alternated with sitting

whenever possible

SLIDE 19

Healthy Sitting

Maintain an “S” shaped spine
Wherever possible ensure that

your back is supported

Stand up and Stretch where

possible

Do not remain in a ‘static’ sitting

position for a long period of time

Adopt good posture whilst

carrying out driving tasks

Adjust your chair back so that your back is supported Screen at eye level with correct use of riser Use separate keyboard and mouse Adjust your chair height so that your feet are flat

n floor
