Work is back in full swing, but is your back health already paying the price? If you have an office job, it could well be. According to our London chiropractor, sitting in an office chair for prolonged periods of time can worsen or even cause back pain. This is because sitting is a static posture that increases stress and pressure on the back, shoulders, arms and legs.
No matter how demanding or busy your job is, it’s really important that you take regular breaks away from your desk so that you are able to walk around and get those muscles moving!
Setting up an ergonomic office chair is also recommended. This can maximise back support and help you to maintain good posture while working at your desk.
Remember your spine when you’re working away to those deadlines! It needs TLC no matter how busy you are!
