Why Posture Matters:
[Image: Sam demonstrates correct desk postural positioning]

Posture is the alignment and positioning of the body in relation to gravity. Contrary to popular dialogue around posture, the idea that having "good" posture prevents pain and injury is not supported by scientific evidence. In reality, the issues often lie in spending to much time in any sustained, static postures, regardless of how anatomically correct they look.

Spending to much time in any one position, regardless of how upright that position may be, is associated with increased risk of musculoskeletal discomfort, particularly in sedentary populations, More important than being in a "good" posture is to frequently change positions: movement and variety do more to keep a person out of pain than holding one's head up.

With that said, there are positions that work better than others for most people. A 2018 study of 528 office workers found that taking frequent breaks from sitting, having a chair with lumbar and arm support, aligning the screen properly to avoid strain on the neck and shoulders were all associated with lower incidence of pain. Daily exercise and lower-stress work environments further protected office workers from pain.

We can thus see that certain elements of posture are important, but just as important, if not mores, are changing positions frequently, getting daily exercise, and managing stress.

Workplace ergonomics can help to make office workers more comfortable, but "good" posture is not a panacea. A healthy lifestyle that incorporates frequent movement and stress management are just as crucial to keeping your body happy during the work week.
