Simple Sitting Tips and Daily Posture Habits to Prevent or Reduce Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most common complaints among people who spend long hours sitting—whether at a desk, in front of a computer, or while gaming. What many don’t realise is that poor posture and incorrect sitting habits are often the main culprits. The good news? A few simple changes to your daily routine can make a big difference.

Let’s explore some easy sitting tips and daily posture habits that can help you prevent or reduce back pain.

1. Sit All the Way Back in Your Chair

One of the biggest posture mistakes people make is sitting on the edge of the chair or slouching forward. Instead, sit all the way back so your lower back is supported by the chair’s lumbar support. This helps maintain the natural curve of your spine and keeps your posture aligned.

If your current chair doesn’t offer enough support, consider using a small cushion—or better yet, upgrade to an ergonomic chair with built-in lumbar support, like the ones from Katana Ergo.

2. Keep Your Feet Flat on the Floor

Your feet should always rest flat on the ground. Avoid crossing your legs or tucking your feet under your chair, as this can tilt your pelvis and strain your spine. If your chair is too high, use a footrest or a small stool to support your feet.

3. Follow the 90-90-90 Rule

Maintain a 90-degree angle at your hips, knees, and elbows while sitting. This position promotes proper blood flow and keeps your joints relaxed. Your thighs should be parallel to the ground, and your elbows should rest comfortably on your armrests or desk without slouching.

4. Take Frequent Breaks

Even with perfect posture, sitting too long in one position isn’t good for your back. Stand up, stretch, or walk around every 30 to 60 minutes. These micro-breaks relieve pressure on your spine, reduce muscle stiffness, and improve circulation.

Set a reminder on your phone or use a break timer app if you often forget to move.

5. Choose the Right Chair

A poor-quality chair can sabotage your posture, no matter howmindful you are. Look for a chair with ergonomic features such as:

• Adjustable seat height
• Lumbar support
• Recline and tilt functions
• 3D/4D/6D adjustable armrests
• Comfortable, high-density foam padding
