I take no issue with anything on that list. The pressure on lumbar is because of the positioning of your pelvis[1].

> Speaking of, an adjustable monitor arm is the best investment you can make. I use the Humanscale M2.

I have my monitor on top of an entire hifi set and an old VHS player. But yeah an arm seems more sensible ;)

Agree - that image looks painful, but I'd term that a "hunch" more than a "slouch" (not sure if ergonomics makes a distinction between the two.)

My "slouch" is more of a reclining position, which I find quite comfortable.

Reclining is fine for relaxing but it’s not an ideal position for typing/work. For one thing you’re encouraging rounded shoulders, e.g. see: https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/common-posture-mistake...

I lift weights regularly, which I'm guessing compensates. I agree that it would cause problems sans weightlifting.

Wait ! So an anterior pelvic tilt when sitting is actually good for you ?

That seems counter inuitive since it is bad for you to stand in that way .

The scan is from a book called “8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back” by Esther Gokhale which I recommend reading and makes the case for a J shaped spine (rather than S shape).
