Is this how you look driving in the car?š
Things to be aware of: āHead poking forward āRounded shoulders āUpper back rounding āRounded lower back āPelvis Slouched Look familiar? It's probably the exact same posture you have while sitting on your phone/computer. This can lead to issues like headaches, sciatica, tight shoulders and lower back pain.Ā (ā¦ just to name a few) Ways to correct your driving posture: āKeep seat height as high as it can comfortably go āRest your head on the headrest (which should be positioned to keep your head back/aligned over the shoulders.. try doing 10 chin tucks at every red light, holding 5 sec each) āShoulders should remain relaxed in a downward/backward positionĀ (gently pull your shoulder blades back & down by squeezing them together) āUpper back remains uprightĀ (slouching or sticking out the chest can over-extend the back's natural curves) āLumbar supportĀ (can help support a neutral arch in the low back and prevent slouching) āTuck your tailbone underneath youĀ (the aim is to position the pelvis so you are sitting directly on your "sit bones")
