Prolonged Sitting
Prolonged sitting can have a significant impact on the back by leading to poor posture, increasing the risk of injury, and exacerbating existing conditions. To prevent back pain related to prolonged sitting, it’s important to take regular breaks to stand up, stretch, and move around. Additionally, using a chair that provides proper lumbar support, adjusting the height of your chair and computer screen to maintain good posture, and engaging in regular physical activity can also help reduce the impact of prolonged sitting on the back. Maintaining an active lifestyle and a healthy weight can also decrease the likelihood of developing back pain and other issues associated with extended sitting. [via UCLA Health]
