Dr. explains how to counteract back pain in the office. Csaba Losonc using the following five tips.
Tip 1: Heat to relax your muscles
An effective method to relieve the strain on your back in the office is to use heat treatments. This includes, for example, the use of cherry stone cushions that can be discreetly placed in the chair. Alternatively, office workers can also use heat patches to relax their muscles. For those whose work environment allows it, there is also the option of placing an electric blanket over the back of a chair that you can lean on while you work.
Tip 2: Get up and move regularly
To counteract muscle inactivity, regular exercise is advisable. The best way to do this is for office workers to set an alarm clock that reminds them every 30 minutes to stand up, turn around and stretch. This activation of muscles affected by prolonged sitting promotes blood circulation and relieves potential back problems.
Tip 3: Stretching exercises at work
A simple way to relieve strain on your back during office life is to stretch slightly when you get up. For example, you can stand one meter from your desk, bend forward and arch your back like a bridge. Alternatively, you can rotate your upper body to the left and right. These regular stretching exercises can help relieve painful tension and improve mobility.
Tip 4: Walks during your lunch break
To promote muscle activity and reduce pain in the long term, office workers should use their lunch break for a short walk. Exercising outdoors not only stimulates blood circulation, but also supports muscle activity. This makes walks an effective way to break up office life and improve back health.
Tip 5: Self-acupuncture and acupressure
As an additional measure, self-acupuncture or acupressure can be used to specifically target specific acupuncture points. Significant points such as the pads of the thumb or the base of the neck can be stimulated with gentle pressure. This targeted massage can serve as a supportive method to reduce pain in the long term and increase general well-being.
Conclusion
The measures presented are important steps to relieve and prevent back pain in everyday office life. However, it is crucial not to allow pain to become chronic. If symptoms recur, it is therefore essential to see a doctor early. This proactive approach allows timely precautions to be taken to prevent potential chronicity and ensure long-term back health.
