The Basics of Seated Posture - Dr. Catie Skelton, Pediatric Physical Therapist
As we spend so much of our waking hours sitting, it’s so important that we prioritize proper posture while sitting in order to decrease the likelihood of developing postural asymmetries and/or spinal deformities (i.e. kyphosis, scoliosis, etc.), to maintain joint integrity & range of motion/mobility with the spine & hips, to increase alertness & concentration, and to increase breath support & efficiency.
What is active sitting?
Active sitting is a concept that encourages individuals to engage their bodies while sitting, transforming sedentary activities into opportunities for movement and exercise. It involves using ergonomic chairs and accessories that promote natural body movement, core engagement, and muscle activation while seated.
