Great article!
Sitting still all day doesn’t only impact sitting posture, but also long term health in general. (Sitting still too much increases the chance of delevoping diabetes, cancer and dementia.)
So make sure to move regularly during the day.
A chair like the Flexchair from The Netherlands tackles both problems: corrects posture while strengthening the back and it lets you sit in a dynamic way, so you don’t sit still.

Hi Sazia
Those are great tips, because back pain is no joke.
About a year ago I started feeling that I was “stiffening up”, so I bought a “standing desk” and I also started attending yoga classes. Both have been very successful and I feel much better then I did previously – the yoga has really helped my spine.
