Spanish traumatologist Ines Sanchez stated that to protect the health of the back and spine, proper posture or expensive ergonomic furniture alone is not enough.
Medianews.az reports that, according to the doctor, one of the main causes of back problems is staying immobile for a long time.
Sitting in the same position for hours weakens blood circulation, weakens muscles, and reduces joint mobility. Because of this, even people who follow proper sitting rules often complain of back pain.
The specialist emphasizes that the most reliable way to prevent back pain is regular physical activity. Movement is essential for the normal function of the spine and the muscles that support it.
Sanchez recommends getting up from the desk every 30 minutes, doing short warm-up or stretching exercises, and walking outdoors every day. According to her, regular movement preserves muscle tone and reduces the risk of musculoskeletal system diseases.
