Sitting in a chair for long periods of time is bound to cause back pain at some point, no matter how hard you may try to avoid it. This is mainly because of static posture that increases stress in the back, shoulders, arms, legs, back muscles, and spinal discs. To avoid, or at least to ameliorate back pain, you first need to sit down properly. Regardless of how disciplined you are, however, you’ll always have difficulties sitting the proper way in a chair that wasn’t specifically designed for comfort.
