7 Posture Fixes for the Indian Work-From-Home Generation

3. Add lower-back support — simple lumbar fixes

The lumbar curve in your lower spine helps support your upper body. Sitting rigidly straight or slouching both remove that natural support and can cause fatigue over time. If your chair lacks good lumbar support, try a rolled towel, a small cushion, or a budget lumbar pillow tucked into the small of your back. Position the support at the height where your lower back naturally curves; it should feel like a gentle nudge rather than a hard block. For long calls, sit back against the support rather than perching on the chair edge. You can also check your posture with a mirror—placing a small mirror near your workspace is a simple reminder and was suggested in user-sourced tips for habit formation. These fixes are low-cost and often make sitting for long periods far more comfortable.
