Do you sit a lot for work\/travel? It’s well known now that sitting for long periods really isn’t good for our bodies, however it isn’t always avoidable!<\/p>\n
Sitting can often lead to tight hamstrings, rounded shoulders and lower back pain. Here are some ideas to help you release tension, alleviate pain and correct your posture.<\/p>\n
Ask for someone to look at your chair and work station with you sat in it. Looking at whether your feet can go flat on the floor, how upright you are sat, the position of your laptop\/computer in relation to your eyeline, arms and shoulders.<\/p>\n
Think about what work you can do stood up. Can you make a standing workstation? For example, I often use our breakfast bar as a place to work as it\u2019s the right height for me to work on my laptop.<\/p>\n
Take regular posture breaks. Make sure you get up and walk around, change position and check your posture every 30-40 minutes. Build it into your schedule. This could even be a walk to make a drink or go to the toilet!<\/p>\n
