Getbig Wizards, Exercise Physiologists, Kinesiology Experts, Chiropractors, do you have any tips for better posture while sitting.  I routinely find myself hunched over, shrugging shoulders, scrunched up sometimes, bent a bit at the waist with a rounded back which de-emphasizes the abs from stabilizing in the sitting position and transfers all to the lower back. Sometimes I try to make a concious effort to sit straight, but it always fails.  Sub-consciously I always go back to the hunch position or a variant.

Any tips or videos to help proper sitting posture and how to maintain it?

In the military they just said to position your neck attentively (not dropping forward) and maintain a tight core...

A chiropractic kneeling chair is pretty amazing.

Falcon, I need you to comment on this.

I would never try to stand in for the Falcon because that would be akin to a high school music teacher standing in for Beethoven, but I will try to help.  I have a kick ass chair at work that has that mesh lumbar support stuff for the backing.  It forces me to sit in a proper position.  Both feet flat on the floor, shoulders back and head straight ahead.  If you can afford one get one or just get the lumbar support mesh.  Works wonders for me.

Thinking that your posture affects how your lower back feels is a fallacy. It's TMS that's causing your symptoms.

Read Dr. John Sarno.
I DO NOT have any lower back pain at all ever.

set your laptop on top of something and stand while your browsing the net. standing will build more bone density than sitting, standing teaches better posture. no one can argue sitting is better than standing
