Are you getting back pain in the office ?

Do we think of our long-term quality of life when we rush into the office and sit all day? Probably not…… but we should 

Long term bad habits can lead to pain and degeneration. 

The person next to you may be stooping, slouching, twisting awkwardly, but believe me, they will know about it at some point. 

Bodies function best when in: 

  • Spinal Neutral – when the spine’s in optimal functioning position
  • Balance – using each half of the body 50:50
  • Motion – Moving regularly is essential

Prevention is really where we should focus our attention, however the majority of people respond to pain over implementing preventative measures. The problem with waiting for pain is the underlying damage has already occurred. This means the area of damage needs to go through a number of processes before reaching optimal function, which takes a long time:- 

  • Suffering

  • Improving

  • Recovering

  • Stabilising

  • Strengthening

  • Healing

  • Correcting

  • Enhancing

  • Optimising

The majority of people reach a level of ‘No pain’ and then move on with other aspects of life often falling back into bad habits. Others go a step further and aim for optimal recovery and maintains this level through lifestyle choice, such as regular strengthening.

Do not despair if you are currently suffering, the quicker you address your injury the quicker the body will recover.
