Maybe it is my own fault why my back hurts.. or maybe it is my stupid bosses fault for giving us stupid chairs to sit in all day though I do have such bad posture... and I need to really start doing something about it soon before I permanently damage it (and that can really happen ya know) I have a friend in the same boat as me who also suffering form a bad back and poorly feet it is as though we are twins and when one of us gets injured the other one conveniently gets the same injury by walking into a lamp post. My job means I have to be hunched over a computer screen typing away for hours on end.... so what can I do I am a little bit stuck here..... will my boss mind if half way doing some work I get up roll out a yoga mat and start doing yoga and Pilates? After all I wont be much use if I am crippled.. or even just complaining every second about my aching back. Then again who really is bothered about your health when you got a job to do and your being paid and there are plenty more slaves to take your place? My back pain is mostly in my lower back I think because the way I sit causes my hips to become tilted which tilts the spin and that must be causing the problems.. it so easy to not sit up straight when your on computer and because doing work.. very boring work its almost a reflex to slouch....... what can I do guys? I heard that you can buy tablets that can do pretty much everything a computer can do.. I might ask my boss if I can get one of those and work standing up.. or if not Il see if my boss will let me work standing up and raising the computer screen so I can see it standing up.. that's precisely what my friend I was telling you about who is like my twin but isnt has thought about doing to sort out there back pain. Im going to also look into wearing some back supports too see if they might improve my posture at all.
