Finally decided that some action needs to be taken about my exaggerated lumbar curve and from reading up it seems that with the right exercises and stretching program it can be corrected within as little as 4 weeks.

However, with me having an office job and sitting at a desk all day it seems the most important thing will be to get the chair/desk set up right and to also do stretching every so often while at work

The main issue I have is that I can never find a comfortable position to sit in. Where should the lumbar support of the chair be? When I have it blown right up and placed in my lower back it just feels like it is making my lumbar curve even more exagerated but everything you read says to make use of lumbar support. Any tips on the best set up as I need to get it right as I spend 1/3 of the year sat in that sodding chair frown

Also, when at home watching tv, would it be better to be laid rather than sat down so that your hip flexors are fully extended?
