The physiotherapist named a way to avoid acute back pain during sedentary work

 The main secret to the absence of back pain while working while sitting is the correct posture.

To avoid acute back pain during sedentary work, you can do simple exercises, said physical therapist Sammy Margo. She told the Daily Mail about ways to prevent such pain, UAINFO.org informs.

According to Margo, the main secret to not having back pain while working while sitting is proper posture: when the ears, shoulders, hips and ankles are in line, the buttocks are pressed against the back of the chair, and the feet are flat on the floor.

If you have back pain, she explained, you should get up every half hour to an hour. At this time, you can do stretching exercises. To do this, you need to put your feet shoulder-width apart, turn your palms to the ceiling and slowly raise your arms, stretching them as much as possible. After that, you need to lower your hands to your sides and repeat the exercise three times.

"A good stretch several times a day is a surefire way to loosen tight muscles and increase flexibility," added Margo.
