Hey Stamford, Norwalk, Darien , & New Canaan CT Is Your Back Pain getting worse from working at home during COVID?

Back Pain ProjectLet’s be honest. While working from home may have sounded a little fun before COVID-19 — conference calls in bed, yay — the novelty is wearing off.Your back hurts. Your neck is tight. And your butt? Numb and sore. First off, sitting for long periods of time is never good for your body and really bad for your back pain. And if where you are sitting happens to be soft, like a sofa or a mattress, you are going to start to feel strain and lower back pain if your posture is lacking. Anytime we sit, we are putting a strain on our bodies. Sitting causes us to bend our backs [and our hips], and move away from what’s called the “neutral range posture” for joints. That is when your ears, shoulder, and hip are in a straight line. This move away from neutral range posture puts stress on your back and neck, increasing pressure on these tissues and triggering sensors in the brain that is perceived as pain or stiffness.  When it comes to sitting on a couch or bed, it’s a bit of a different story. While at first it can feel comfortable, as you start to sink into the couch or mattress, you end up creeping into a poor posture that’s much more extreme, and potentially harder on your body. I am certain that that the softer surface tricks your brain because it happens so slowly that you don’t really notice how your posture changes. We also need to be mindful of how long we’re in these postures. Sitting for the whole day without taking a break…the bigger consequence is going to be the overall impact on our health, which is probably the most important thing to keep in mind,” she says, adding that getting up and moving around for a few minutes at every hour is a good way to help posture. The Back Pain Project is an advanced way to eliminate chronic lower back pain using several therapies combined to deliver better biomechanical functioning of the lower back. It will make your back work better without back pain.Back Pain Project551 Post Road Suite 205Darien CT 06820Have a Question?
