Maintain correct posture to avoid back pain
I am plagued by back pain. I thought this tips wld be helpful.

Correct posture can help people avoid all manner of pain. Incorrect posture is a common cause of back pain. Here are a few tips for maintaining good posture while standing and sitting from Spine-Health.com:
Standing
• Try to maintain the natural S-curve of the spine.
• Hold your head directly over the shoulders—that means head up and chest out.
• Keep the shoulders directly over the pelvis.
• Tighten your abdominal muscles.
• Tuck in the buttocks.
• Stand with feet slightly apart, with one foot just
• slightly ahead of the other and the knees slightly bent.

Sitting
• Make your workstation user-friendly by adjusting your chair, computer and desk.
• Don’t sit toward the front of your chair and hunch for-ward, instead sit back in the chair and use the chair’s lumbar support to keep the head and neck erect.
• Take frequent stretching or walking breaks.
