Spending many hours sitting is part of the daily routine for many people. Working in front of a computer, driving, or even watching a series for too long can cause the back to start feeling strained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At first, it is usually just a slight discomfort, but as the hours go by, it can turn into a constant feeling of stiffness or tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In consultation, I see this problem very often, especially in people who work in offices or spend much of the day in front of a screen in Terrassa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The spine needs movement to function comfortably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we remain seated without changing position, the back is under continuous load and the muscles eventually become fatigued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although we exercise several times a week, spending many consecutive hours sitting can also influence how the back feels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daily stress and fatigue can cause the muscles to remain more contracted than usual, increasing the feeling of discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many people believe it is normal to end the day with a strained back, but the body usually gives warning signs long before that discomfort starts affecting other daily activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What I most often see in consultation are people who had been living with this discomfort for months because they thought it was an unavoidable consequence of their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taking small breaks, changing your posture frequently, and maintaining good mobility can help you feel more comfortable throughout the workday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
