Reasons Why Excessive Sitting and Sedentary Lifestyle Lead to Back Pain

Image
In the modern world, many people spend time sitting down behind a desk connecting with clients across the globe. Gone are the days when most business owners meet customers by traveling across the world. In addition to that, it all boils down to sedentary work that involves no movement but sitting in one place during long hours of meetings. This will lead to gradual wasting of our muscles, especially around the lower abdomen and pelvis, and in the end cause back pain. Numbers show that American adults spend about 10 hours a day sitting down. Here are  some wrong habits that contribute to the affliction in your lower back.   Sitting for Long Hours The first primary reason why you get back pain is that you sit for too long without a break. It means that once you get to your work station, you don’t move for quite some time leading to the affliction in your lower back.

HOW TO AVOID KNEE PAIN: important points and simple solutions

Image
Have you been getting knee pain while walking, climbing or running? Listen to Balance Core Physio Experts explain why the knee pain can happen and how to avoid it. Knee pain is usually not a standalone condition. Being the center joint in the lower limb, abnormal loading from the hip or ankle/foot will always alter the loading on the knee joint. When the knee is aligned ideally, the force going through the knee does not cause injury. But, when there is a combination of forces from multiple directions, such as compression and gliding or twisting, the knee is predisposed to early degeneration. Studies have shown that the majority of patients with knee pain also have weakness in their hip muscles and core control. Over time, abnormal balancing and movement strategies will be adopted. more here:  https://balancecore.sg/education/how-to-avoid-knee-pain-important-points-and-simple-solutions/
