How to relief lower back pain at your desk job

 

If you spend hours at a desk each day, you’ve likely experienced lower back pain. Sitting for prolonged periods with poor posture can put immense pressure on your spine, causing discomfort and even long-term damage. Here are some practical tips to prevent and relieve back pain while working:


  1. Maintain Proper Posture: Sit with your back straight, shoulders relaxed, and feet flat on the floor. Adjust your chair so your knees are at a 90-degree angle.

  2. Take Breaks: Get up every 30 minutes to stretch and move around. A quick walk or some stretches can help relieve tension in your lower back.

  3. Use Ergonomics: Ensure your chair provides lumbar support and that your computer screen is at eye level to avoid straining your neck and back.
