The Reason Everybody Should Protect Their Lumbar

Do you have any idea why people would always tell you to sit up straight and to never slouch? What you need to understand is that sitting up straight is important because if you don’t do it you could suffer from a slipped disk and when this happens you will regret every time you ever slouched. Trust me when I say that a slipped disk is worse than it sounds.

Something that most people don’t understand is that when you protect your lumbar it will help protect the rest of your back and improve your posture dramatically. One of the things that you need to understand is that the more you slouch the harder it will be to sit up straight and the reason being is because slouching is a form of weakness in your back. The problem that a lot of people have is their stomach is growing and because of that it pulls their shoulders frontward which makes them slouch even more.

In order to protect your lumbar there are a few things that work great and those things are a lumbar support cushion, a back brace, and simply standing instead of sitting. It may be a little outrageous to stand up the whole day but sometimes you have to make these sacrifices when you don’t have the right amount of lumbar support. If you have trouble sitting right and keeping your back straight then I would suggest practicing for a while until it becomes natural. The reason I recommend practicing is because the more you do something the easier it will become and the faster it will be second nature to you.

One other thing that I would highly recommend is that you find a good chair with decent lumbar support so that you can sit on it. The reason why I recommend this is because having a chair with a good lumbar support means that you will not have to do everything in order to sit straight, they chair will help you. What is great about this is that you can now do what you are supposed to be doing instead of worrying about how you are sitting.

The last thing that I want you to understand is that protecting your lumbar is a must for people of all ages. It isn’t always a possibility to get a chair with the right amount of lumbar support and if not then I would highly recommend getting a cheap lumbar support cushion to fill its spot.
