Excessive Sitting Can Cause Chronic Pain

Many people have been sitting much more this last year while working at home, online classes and in general less physical activity. Consequently, long hours of sitting is also a known cause for lower back, leg and neck issues. Most people in the United States will experience back pain at some time in their lives. Causes of back pain are many ranging from poor posture, heavy lifting and lack of exercise amongst others. Some find relief through chiropractic or acupuncture therapy. Most pain goes away within a few days or weeks only to return at a later date.

Unless the root cause is fixed, most treatments only offer temporary relief. In many cases, the root cause of back pain is tight hamstring and/or quadricep muscles. Excessive sitting can tighten these muscles as well as lack of proper stretching on a regular basis.

I have learned, studied, practiced and teach literally hundreds of various low-impact exercises that can build stronger bones, muscles and joints. Private, small or group instruction.
