Working in an office chair for hours? Ideally, you should apply the same posture techniques recommended when standing. Our post on 5 Simple Tips to Keep Great Posture at Any Age can be a great starting point to create healthier habits with this matter.
Additionally, you should make sure that you’re using a good quality chair which supports your lower back; also, your knees should ideally be higher than your hips as you sit down.
Lastly, take as many breaks as possible and move around the room or stretch with every occasion. These might seem little things, but they definitely have a big impact in the long run!
I think by now we all acknowledge the importance of doing at least 30 minutes of exercise daily. Of course, even simple activities such as walking can bring a positive impact – but they may just not be enough to ease your back pain.
What works instead is starting a strength-training routine suited to your age, lifestyle and physical condition. When you strengthen and grow muscles around the back and abdomen, you reduce your risk for muscle spasms and strains. Additionally, this type of workout keeps your spine protected every time you’re lifting heavier loads.
