Introduction[edit | edit source]
We all, at some point in our lives, will sit for a long period of time. Whether that is at a desk at work, eating dinner at the table, or sitting to watch a film. Many theories have been produced about how our posture should be during this time. From sitting up straight with no support to using specialised equipment to keep our backs in a correct and safe position. Below will discuss what the evidence says to keep our backs healthy and (Add aims in).

Clinically relevant anatomy[edit | edit source]
The lumbar spine, where most back pains occur (REFERENCE), has 5 vertebrae (numbered L1-L5). In between each vertebra, there is an intervertebral disc. This is known as the intervertebral disc joint. There are also two (left and right) facet joints between each vertebra (REFERENCE).
