Can you Avoid Lower Back Pain

By Beth Fargo

Most of us work with computers these days and know what a time drainer they might be. Before you even know where the time went, you've been sitting at your computer for hours. Keeping books, files, the printer, even the stapler out of your reach has its advantages by getting you up and about. Keep you moving from time to time. One way to deal with the lack of motion is by varying your job tasks so you are forced to get up and move about. If you have to, set a timer to go off every 30 minutes and at that time stand for a second, do the bean sitting shimmy (shift your hips back and forth), and then you can sit back down for another 30 minutes. There are so many ways to get moving. If you are in a private setting turn on some music and have some fun doing some of the latest dance moves.

This is why if you have any future pain of this type you should heed that as a warning and allow that to guide your decision making. If you've been working for long periods of time in the same position whether it at home or in the office acknowledge it and stop what you are doing or do something else for a while. If you do continue on with the pain, chances are it will be worse and often after it is already too late the damage is done. Chances are you will be sorry the next day and might require medical intervention.

Other activities that are taxing on our bodies are road trips? You can drive until a full tank of gas is gone ignoring the dull ache that has slowly started sneaking up your spine or you can stop every two hours to fill up and move around. Together with this change of position you improve your circulation through movement and it will make a difference to your body. Pounding sports or sports that twist our bodies such as basketball, tennis or succor can also leave us feeling crippled.

Who doesn't work on computers these days? Before you realize it, you've been sitting there for hours. One way you can deal with this lack of motion is by varying your job tasks so you are forced to get up and move about. Keeping books, files, the printer, even the stapler out of your reach has its advantages by getting you up and moving. If you have to, set a timer to go off every 30 minutes and at that time stand for a second, do some type of activity that moves your body and gets your blood circulating and then sit back down. If you're working on a laptop, try moving it to a higher level, like a counter top or cabinet, where you can stand and work for a while. There are also many sit/stand work stations on the market these days. Go on line or ask a professional.

This is why if you do have future occurrences of any type of back pain you should allow that to guide your decision making. If you' are a home owner and have been working in the yard or some other task and your back starts to hurt, do you acknowledge it and stop what you are doing or do something else for a while or do you continue on until the task is complete. Usually if you continued on you will be sorry the next day. How about road trips? You can drive until your gas tank is empty, ignoring the dull ache that has slowly started sneaking up your spine or you can stop every two hours to fill up and move around. Together with this change of position you improve your circulation through movement and it will make a difference to your body.
