Tag: Sitting ergonomics

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), proper ergonomic setup can prevent musculoskeletal disorders. To protect your health and comfort, understanding what is the best position for legs when sitting is crucial for anyone spending extended time in a chair.

A study found that sitting with your legs crossed for more than three hours per day can cause shoulder inclination and lateral pelvic tilt. It is this kind of postural stress that explains why doctors tell you not to cross your legs, often pointing to potential issues with circulation, spinal alignment, and nerve health.
