Back pain is one of the most common reasons people see their doctor. Office workers are vulnerable to prolonged sitting, and thus one of the highest occupations to have complaints of spine discomfort and pain. A few simple exercises at your desk can help alleviate your pain.
Standing hip flexor stretch: This stretch is helpful to stretch the muscle group that becomes tight with prolonged sitting; these muscles have direct attachment to the front part of your spine and when this muscle group is tight, your back also can feel tight. This will assist in limbering up your spine and allowing you to stand taller and walk better.
If you’re in prolonged pain, you should consult your physician to discuss underlying problems or treatment concerns. Call the Comprehensive Spine Center at 614-293-2225 and learn more at http://go.osu.edu/CGS7.
