There is no doubting it, as a nation we are sitting down more than ever. As a busy Staines Chiropractor we think this is a bad thing and sitting for too long can have repercussions on your health.

Are we sitting for too long and what can be done about it?

According to the ‘Get Britain Standing’ campaign we are on average sitting for 8.9 hours per day, this in short is just too long.

As busy Staines Chiropractors we have a few tips you should follow. If you make some minor adjustments to your lifestyle you can avoid the problems above and enjoy a better quality of life;

Walk or cycle to work/shops – If you live close enough why not ditch the car and use your own body to get there. It will save you money and improve your health.

Park at the back –Get off your backside for longer and take a few extra steps all by just parking at the back of car parks.

Get up every 40 minutes –Every 30-40 minutes get up from your seat and do something different, even if it’s just to make a cup of tea.
