Because we don't have fully adjustable seats in most light helicopters, you're always going to compromise on posture. Get used to having a sore back and eventually lots of trips to the chiropractor.
Slouching, slight twist to back, one leg in a different position from the other, add vibration and some tension, and voila - structural problems!
