Sitting in the same position for extended periods may cause you to experience a stiff sensation in your muscle. Poor posture can harm your physical health and lead to severe issues like improper circulation, slipped discs, and acute lower back pain.
Definition of Back Pain
Back pain is a condition where you feel discomfort in the back area of your body caused by an injury to the muscle. A few conditions commonly linked to back pain issues – are muscle strain, ruptured discs, and arthritis.
- Muscle Strain: The repeated habit of lifting heavy items in the wrong position can cause strains on your back muscles and spinal ligaments.
- Ruptured Discs: Discs' primary function is as cushions between the bones in the spine—the soft tissue inside the disc ruptures, which causes pain to the affected area.
- Arthritis: Arthritis usually occurs in inflammation in areas where your bones meet and move, typically called joints. The pain may cause discomfort to bend your joints; they can be mild and severe to some people – depending on the individual's tolerance to pain.
Common Unhealthy Posture Habits
We may not realize that bad posture habits typically occur in daily activities like walking, sitting, standing, bending, lifting, and laying down. A sedentary lifestyle or lack of active physical movement can also cause more stress and pain to develop back problems. Below are among the everyday unhealthy posture habits you may perform:
- Slouching or slumping your body while sitting on an office chair
- Doing work on your bed with no proper sitting posture and table
- Standing on one leg – putting all the weight pressure on one leg is terrible for your back health
- Hunching your body forward while gardening
- Lifting heavy objects off the floor by bending your back
Habits to Improve Your Posture
With correct sitting habits, it is possible for patients who suffer from back pain issues to reduce and manage some symptoms at home.
- Using Ergonomic Office Chair: The ergonomic office chair is tailored to your body curve and weight. Its function is to provide great comfort for extended hours of sitting. Usually features lumbar support to reduce the risks of developing back pain, adjustable armrests, and height to tailor to your needs.
- Practice Proper Posture: To maintain the health of your back, it is essential to practice proper posture while sitting and standing up. Avoid leaning on one leg, sticking your bottom out, and standing with a flat back. Moreover, an excellent way to sit down is with your back and shoulders straight and your bottom touching the back of the chair.
- Stretch Up and Exercises: Practicing stretch-ups and a few easy exercises like shoulder blade squeeze, upper-body stretch, arm-cross-chest stretch, and imagery can help improve your body posture.
