Back pain is one of the most common medical conditions and can result from a variety of factors, including sports activities, accidents, and the effects of aging on the body. Another major, and often overlooked, cause of back pain is prolonged sitting.Unfortunately, if you have a desk job, you probably sit for at least eight hours a day, and for five or more days per week. To make matters worse, you also sit during your commute, and even during your break time.Improving your posture and the ergonomics of your workspace can help reduce your risk of back pain, and even relieve existing back pain, but they can do little to counteract the other negative health effects of prolonged sitting.
