How to Protect Your Back at Work?
Are you spending most of your workday sitting down? Left unchecked, this positioning leads to muscular imbalances and skeletal malalignment, all of which can worsen back pain. While seated, your hip flexors, hamstrings, and—if you're wearing high heels—calf muscles are all in a shortened position. As the years go by, this position will lead to a shortening of these soft tissues overall, which ultimately predispose you to develop pain and discomfort. The discomfort could range from a simple ache to a problem that limits function and requires medical treatment and possibly even surgery.
