Today I discovered the wooden bar that runs along the bottom of the four(4)(….) person tables on the third floor of the HBLL. I’m not sure how I’ve managed to remain oblivious all these years but it was a welcome surprise. I’m actually sitting at one of the newly appreciated tables this very moment.
For those who don’t know, this wooden slat is ideally located to provide perfect support for the back-conscious sloucher. The primary technique for slat use seems to be one foot on top, the other underneath. With such orientation it is possible to move the hips a good six inches away from the back of the chair. One can then engage the bondas and shift about 25 percent of the body weight onto the elevated foot. This provides muscle and joint relief for the lower back in a position that would otherwise cause strain.
For increased benefit, one can then rest the calf of the lower leg on the inside of the elevated foot. This movement not only opens the lumbar joints but can also free some tension in the knees.
I feel I should say one more thing before moving on. A quick glance around the room reveals a fairly prominent mistake on the part of proximal, and oh-so-studious individuals. It appears to be.. popular to elevate both feet while also slouching in the chair.
If I may offer one piece of advice: Put your foot tha’ heck down! What, do you think it’s cool to sit like a rabbit? Is that what all the cool people do now? huh? I’m just so impressed. Look at me being impressed at your coolness.. jerk.
/breathe. I think I’m getting a bit off topic.. but really, all it does is put increased strain and curvature where you don’t want it. Trust me on this one Maurice.
