Have you ever wondered why sitting feels uncomfortable, tiring, or strangely collapsing, even when you think you’re sitting “upright”?
It turns out the problem isn’t you. It’s how your body is being positioned.
When your pelvis tilts forward, your whole spine stacks naturally, giving you effortless support.
But when the pelvis tilts backward, as most modern chairs and sofas force it to, your body collapses. Bones shift into positions your body can’t self-correct, leaving you stuck in a slump no matter how often you “sit up straight.”
That’s why the way you sit is more important than you might realise. It affects how you breathe, how you move, how you feel, and even how well your ABC™ care works between visits.
So how do you actually sit correctly?
It starts with a forward-tilted pelvis and knees slightly below your hips. A simple wedge on your seat helps accomplish this automatically and keeps your spine upright without effort.
In addition, most people also have a small twist in their body, a wedge can be positioned to counter that twist, giving you three-dimensional support that helps your body stay aligned.
Why this matters for your care
As your body is being corrected, everyday habits and environments can either support the changes or undo them.
Most chairs, shoes and beds are designed around collapsed, forward-stuck bodies, and they can quietly push you back into old patterns.
Learning how to sit properly is one of the most powerful ways to support your adjustments, reduce setbacks, and keep your progress moving forward.
