For example, when the pelvis rolls backwards, it results in a “c” curved spine, but when it rolls forward into neutral it results in an “s” shaped spine. When the pelvis is correctly aligned, it helps to establish a natural lumbar curve, which is essential for maintaining a healthy spine.

Another benefit of pelvis support is that it can reduce strain on other areas of the body, such as the neck and shoulders. When the pelvis is correctly aligned, it helps to promote a natural thoracic curve, which can help to alleviate tension in the upper body. This, in turn, can help to reduce the risk of developing conditions such as shoulder impingement syndrome or neck pain.

So, how can you ensure that you are using an office chair that provides adequate pelvis support?

The truth is, there are very few chairs that offer pelvis support, but there are a few things to consider. Firstly, look for a chair with a contoured seat that promotes good alignment of the pelvis. Secondly, consider using a separate cushion or support device that can help provide pelvis support in a neutral position. Another low-tech option is to roll up a towel and place it on your seat behind the pelvis to hold it in neutral. This can be a good short-term solution but is not sustainable long term.
