 A Proper Way to Sit in Comfort without destroying your Back
Your back or spinal column is the most important part of your skeletal
body. Without your spinal column, functional mobility would be impaired and
your physical comfort level would be greatly jeopardized in your internal
organs.
The main purpose of the spinal column is to maintain
the erect posture of the human for enabling functional mobility, such as in
standing, sitting and walking to all places and at all times.
We have unique body for adapting to different
conditions for varying purposes. Mostly the adaptation is provided internally,
without having to understand the process. Unfortunately, the use of the spine
is not included in this automatic protection and lays vulnerably open for damage.
Wikipedia
describes sitting as “a rest
position supported by the buttocks or thighs where the torso is more or less upright”. It would be better served to
state that “sitting is an anatomical position of rest for the human body, when
the weight of the body runs vertically from the head down through the spine to
the pelvic bones”.
This sitting
position allows the vertebrae to remain in a vertically relaxed position, without
requiring any support. A term created by myself as the “relaxed hold” that
requires no muscular contractions, for maintaining a balanced sitting
position.”
Consider sitting
on an upright bicycle and holding the handle bars. There is no back rest required
and you will not have any discomfort while cycling. You will sit firmly on your
pelvic bones, because you will be using your legs to push you along.
If you want to
learn how to sit in comfort without a backrest using this position, then my
suggestion is to purchase a bicycle or a bicycle machine and learn how to ride
a bicycle, so that you can sit without a backrest.
Pedaling on a
bicycle is a therapeutic process for relieving back pain, particularly on a
real bicycle, where the vibrations of stones and gravel help to massage the
vertebrae and dislodge any impinged nerves, relax tense muscles or knead
strained ligaments into more corrective positioning.
This can be
proved by relating a story about a year last winter, when Vancouver suffered a
very severe snowstorm that prevented any access to cycling; walking was the
only mode of transportation. The bad conditions caused me to slip and wrench my
back when walking, resulting in a swift visit to the chiropractor, since my
bicycle remained dormant.
The chiropractor
was informed of my leg length discrepancy amounting to 3 centimeters that
caused scoliosis damage to my spine. After reviewing the X-rays of my spine,
the chiropractor told me that my scoliosis was no longer visible as my spine
was straight, even though the pelvic bones were uneven to each other. He then
said “Whatever you are doing to relieve your scoliosis, keep it up, as it is
certainly working!”
This was the
first time and hopefully the last time that a chiropractor was needed for
spinal treatment to my back, because the bicycle is a much cheaper and more
therapeutic method of relieving back pain for comfortable sitting all day.
