No one ever said you had to sit down all day.
In fact as to the effect that sitting down has on you, 'they' say that sitting is
the new smoking.
Get yourself a box that you can stick on your
desk to put your keyboard and mouse on.
(If you're employer is affluent enough, get
them to wheel in a stand up or adjustable desk.)
Tilt your screen up a bit and away you go.
The more you can stand up to work the less
chance there is that calf, hamstring and buttock muscles
will shorten, pulling your pelvis back and turning the 'S'
shaped curve of the spine into a 'C' shape.
When it comes to back pain, you are the
master of your fate. |
