Do you finish you working day and realise that by the time you’ve driven to work, sat down all day at the office and driven back you’ve most of your day sat down?

As leading Staines chiropractors we’re concerned with the amount of time people spent sat down, we’re concerned by their lack of activity.

We not as active any more

Most of us are now in office based roles compared to manual labour roles from 100 years ago. Not only are we sat down in offices all day but our commutes are long, with the average daily commute in the UK said to be 56 minutes.

Humans aren’t designed to be so sedentary; our bodies are designed for movement.

It is a big health problem and can cause a lot of issues. What we’re concerned with the most of course is back pain.

Get more active

Don’t worry though, there is a simple solution. Get more active. There are a number of ways to improve the health of your back and we want you to consider activity.

Exercise is just plain good for you. It can help you stay fit and healthy, it can help you stay in good shape and of course it can help with your back.

Being busy Staines chiropractors we often advise our patients to get active because when you live a sedentary lifestyle like so many of us do, it can be hard to keep in shape.

You should start walking or cycling to improve muscle tone, improve circulation and posture. This will go a long way to keeping your back active and strong and of course pain free.
