Does your back feel better over Christmas when you were off work but has worsened now you're back at work?
We've heard this a lot over January!
That’s because sitting for long periods can often lead to low back pain but it also maintains and aggravates it.
Common signs include:
• Stiffness after sitting
• Pain when standing up
• Aching that builds through the day
• Discomfort that eases with movement but keeps returning
We’ve written a short blog explaining why desk work affects the lower back, what symptoms to watch for, and what actually helps.
