HealthChat’s Stressbusters
Don’t Sit On The Problem.
It is very easy to overlook the importance of posture and
it’s relationship to stress. This is particularly
the case with regard to sitting at a desk for instance.
Slouching or and leg-crossing while sitting lead to excessive
spinal curvature which ultimately leads to back pain and
feelings of stress.
Follow these points and prevent posture adding
to your daily burden:
- When sitting ensure your back is well supported.
- Try to ensure your back is straight at all times.
- Get up and move around at frequent intervals and stretch.
- Ensure your work tops are at a comfortable height and
everything is accessible without placing unnecessary strain
on your back.
- At frequent intervals pamper yourself; go somewhere
quiet and relax your body from toe to head – paying
attention to relaxing all major muscle groups.
