Can an ergonomic chair fix your posture (Part 2)?

This is part 2 of the blog on "Can an ergonomic chair fix your posture". If you missed it read Part 1 HERE.

The tilt of the seat is also important as a forward tilt of your pelvis can prevent slouching or rounding at the lower back by placing your lumbar curve in a good posture and thus avoid a poor posture, back pain, nerve pain etc. Tilt your seat forwards by about 5 to 10 degrees so that your hip joint is slightly above the level of your knee joint. If your seat tilt is not adjustable use a wedge cushion to do so.

Another commonly adjusted feature is the height of an ergonomic chair. It should be high enough for you to be able to place your forearms on the table, ensuring that shoulders are not shrugged, thus avoiding neck and shoulder pain. The chair should however be low enough for you to place your feet firmly touching the ground. Some ergonomic chairs have an inbuilt foot rest. If not, you can place a small stool under the desk to use as a foot rest. Placing the feet on a stable surface promotes a good sitting posture and reduces strain on your lower back.

MEET SWATI

Hi there!

I am Swati, an Executive Mum Power Coach & Certified Posture Expert

I help mums of young kids working in high-stress executive jobs manage back, neck, and nerve pain, even with low energy, brain fog, and little time to spare. My proven system delivers real relief without stealing hours from your already packed day. The result? More productive professionals at work and guilt-free mums who can be fully present with their kids, instead of being sidelined by pain.

My passion comes from personal experience. I’ve been where you are: in pain, overwhelmed, and exhausted. After two pregnancies in three years, juggling my kids, housework, and a demanding job, I was stuck in a constant cycle of back and nerve pain. The physical load of motherhood added strain to my spine and joints. Meanwhile, adrenal fatigue left me drained, even after 10–12 hours of sleep.

Everyday tasks became a struggle. I was forgetful, foggy, and low on energy. Even as a trained physiotherapist and posture expert, I couldn’t escape my own pain. I stood all day at work, spent evenings on the laptop, rocked my kids to sleep, sat through endless meetings, traveled frequently ... I’ve been through it all.

I kept my pain hidden at work, afraid to speak up. I felt like a fraud, someone who coached others on relief strategies but couldn’t find relief herself. I loved my job and my children, but I couldn’t give 100% to either. Pain was holding me back.

One New Year, I made a resolution: to get healthy, not just fix pain, fatigue, or weight. I focused on reducing inflammation, healing my adrenal fatigue, and reclaiming my energy. Slowly but surely, the pain faded. I lost weight, my brain fog cleared, and my energy skyrocketed. Today, my pain is nearly gone. I feel stronger, clearer, and more in control than I have in years.

And now, I want that for you.

I combine professional expertise with lived experience to support other mums like me, those with young kids, high-stress jobs, and no time for complicated health programs. I’ve helped hundreds of women reduce spinal and joint pain, lift their energy, and clear the mental fog that holds them back.

If any of this resonates, you’re not alone. I’ve been there. I got you, mommy!

Let’s get you feeling strong, confident, and fully present at work and at home.

Are you ready to start? Curious about how this works? Just ask.

Let's DO THIS!

xx Swati
