Last week an earth shattering study was presented by Dr. W. A. Bashir at the Radiological Society of North America meeting in Chicago showing that despite all that you have been told…sitting up straight is actually bad for your spine. The researchers were able to look at the impact on the spine in different positions using new imaging technology in order to confirm their findings.
Bashir and his researchers found that sitting with the back reclined at a 135 angle is the best biomechanical sitting position, rather than the typical 90 angle.
Not quite sure if this is that beneficial. It just puts me in an optimal position to fall asleep while I'm reading or studying.
