Yes, we know that in the modern world, you have to be at your desk, YBM has long been advocating using devices like the hula chair and de-stablizing cushions to make your muscles engaged during sitting.  We also ask you to sit tilted with the entire back supported during driving to protect the spine and disc.

Yes this is right. Sitting a lot at a particular place for long hours is really very injurious for our health. I work in an organization where I have to sit continously 8-10 hrs. Duo to that reason I feel pain all over my neck or in shoulder. I have also some back problem. Some people has advised me to do exercises using fitness equipment such as powerplate or crosstrainer.

As a doctor I do agree with you that sitting long time at a place can cause various problem to our body. First of all there is a chronic pain all over the body and it may lead to obesity, heart disease, diabetes, etc. which is not good for our health.

I have also the same problem. I am working in an organization where I have to sit 8-10 hrs continuously. I feel a chronic pain in my neck and shoulders. One of my friend suggested me to do workouts and exercises for pain relief. So, I have decided to join personal training london center so that I can work properly under a trained personal trainer. I hope that this problem can be solved through exercises and workouts.

Being a Personal Trainer,

Being a Personal Trainer, Pilates instructor and Massage Therapist, I can see first hand the troubles with sitting for extended periods of time. I see clients that are hunched over, developing poor posture and experiencing physical issues related to poor posture like spinal pain, tight glutes, and rounded shoulders. Taking breaks during the day is the best thing you can do. Get up, walk around, stretch a little. Changing the height of your screen or standing while working can also help prevent the "9 - 5" posture.

Thanks for the information. This gave me an idea of joining any aerobics program. Sitting all day is part of my office work, it relaxes me. I was not thinking that I could get any body problems from it. And I also notice lately that I am becoming bigger in size. My belly is getting to bulge everytime I get full. Thats why I decided to pick a sandwich from Jack in the Box three times a day, no more rice and other high in carbo food.
