How to avoid lower back stiffness at work

One interesting that a lot of people told us is that we are now spending a lot more time sitting than they used to.

No commuting, no meeting, no walks out to the shops at lunchtime mean that the time spent moving before is now spent immobile in front of your desk.

In this video, you will learn why your #lowerback really gets stiff and how to help reduce your #lowerbackpain or stiffness.

Lower back pain when sitting is generally caused by staying too long in the same position and poor work set-up.

Another big cause of #backpain and also #neckpain is tight #hamstrings.

Repeated prolonged sitting will increase hamstrings #tightness.

And tight hamstrings will tilt your pelvis posteriorly and increase the stress in your lower back.

So work on your hamstrings to decrease back pain.

Try these easy exercises for a few days and see the difference:

- hamstrings stretching

- squat

- deadlift

And do not forget to move from that chair regularly!
