Sitting in the office chair for long hours is something office goes
cannot avoid. But such prolonged periods can cause low back pain or
worsen an existing back problem. Such problems occur because the static
posture increases stress in the back, shoulders, arms and legs and
induce large amounts of pressure to the back muscles and spinal discs.
Here are a few tips to help you avoid Back Pain during those long office hours of monotonous sitting.
Resting eye level...
Your gaze should be aimed at the center of your computer screen and not higher or lower. Adjust accordingly.
Calf measure...
Try to pass your clenched fist between the
back of your calf and the front of the office chair with your bottom
pushed against the chair back. If you are not able to do so adjust the
backrest forward and insert a low back support.
