We Got You Covered From Head to Toe!
1. Use a standing desk for 30% of your work hours and avoid two consecutive hours of sitting.
2. Be more aware of your movements and postures that cause pain.
3. Develop replacement postures and movement patterns that enable you to function pain-free. Stabilize your torso, core, and spine to remove painful spine joint micro-movements.
4. Develop a daily exercise plan that includes walking.
5. Mobilize and lengthen your hips and butt muscles. Much of what we call "back pain" actually starts because the body is compensating for something that began in the hip area.
6. Learn exercises that are based on patterns of movement: push, pull, lift, carry, lunge, squat, etc. This will develop functional strength for your daily activities.
7. Make healthy spine choices when sleeping, sitting, or engaging in more demanding activities.
8. Assess your workstation. Make sure the ergonomics of your desk is set up properly. The most common reason to develop back pain stems from repetitive strain injuries from poor ergonomics. (refer to ergonomics on RESOURCES)
