Most people don’t realize how much their sitting posture is wrecking their lower back. If you’ve ever felt stiff, achy, or uncomfortable after sitting for long periods, you’re probably making a simple but damaging mistake.

Your lower back has a natural inward curve, called lumbar lordosis, that helps keep your spine supported and protected. But when you sit, especially in soft chairs, on your couch, or while driving, that curve often flattens out. This puts extra pressure on your spinal discs, ligaments, and nerves, leading to pain and long-term issues.

So what can you do to fix it? The first step is understanding how your sitting position affects your spine. In this video, I’ll show you a simple test to check if your lower back is in the right position and how to adjust it for better support.
