Use a Seat Lumbar Support as a Lower back pain remedy

One of the main reasons for Low back pain is 'Poor Back Posture'.

You may have noticed that your posture has become more hunched or that you find it very difficult to sit straight anymore. This is because after sitting for a certain amount of time, you may notice a natural tendency to just let the back go and collapse into a slouch.

Slouching pushes your lower back out into the seat, your shoulders roll in and the head hangs forward. Many people are guilty of sustaining this poor spinal and body alignment at work or everywhere. Not only do you look unattractive & lazy while slouching but it has serious effects on your overall health, which you mustn't ignore.

Harmful by products of poor posture/slouching in seats:

●     Stiff achy neck- head hanging forward for long periods

●     Lower back pain - increased pressure in the discs & overstretching

●     Headaches
