Bending forward? Point your spine instead of pulling it down.

Leland Vall Alexander Technique Tip 49

Still even more sitting (and bending) in chairs. For reaching, point your spine and bend at the hip. Your back will grow stronger over time and you will have more room for breathing. Bending at the waist pulls your spine down, restricts breathing, and shortens your reach. Visit the resources below for more on your pointing spine.
