How to Relieve a Sore Back from ‘Desk Duty’
Relieving a sore back from extended periods of desk work, often referred to as “desk duty,” is important for your comfort and long-term health. Regardless of if your child is coming to you with complaints of headaches, or you’re experiencing discomfort yourself – there is help to be had!
Here are some steps you can take to alleviate and prevent back pain:
- Improve Your Posture:
- Sit up straight with your back against the chair, and ensure that your feet are flat on the floor or on a footrest.
- Adjust your chair and desk height to maintain a 90-degree angle at your hips, knees, and ankles.
- Take Frequent Breaks:
- Stand up and stretch or walk around for a few minutes every 30 minutes.
- Core Strengthening Exercises:
- Strengthen your core muscles, as they provide support to your spine. Exercises like planks, bridges, and pelvic tilts can help.
