WHY SHOULD WE SIT CORRECTLY AND WHY IS ERGONOMICS IMPORTANT
One of the main reasons for pain in many parts of the body such as waist, neck, back, hips, shoulders and neck is not knowing how to sit correctly. Repeating the wrong sitting style causes unbalanced load on the spine or any other part of the body. If this continues, it can cause problems in the parts where the load is applied and cause serious pain that reduces the quality of life (for example, a herniated disc). Just by correcting our sitting position and paying attention to ergonomic recommendations, you can contribute to serious reductions in our pain and accelerating the healing process. In a way, you prevent the disease before it occurs.
