Do you spend a lot of time working behind a desk or a computer?

Sitting for prolonged periods of time can be stressful on the lower back and neck. Here are a few tips from a well known chiropractic physician that can help prevent health problems:

* Talk on the phone while standing instead of sitting.
* Keep your shoulders and chin back to avoid the damage done over time due to the posture you assume when you attend to tasks on your desk.
* Don't slouch. Keep your back straight.
* Buy a clock with an alarm for you to set time to stretch or take a walk every half-hour or so.
* Mini stretch breaks at regular intervals throughout the day can help circulation and comfort, as well as reduce fatigue that can lead to repetitive stress injuries.

Investing in your health today is investing towards your tomorrows.
