Staying home amid COVID-19 pandemic is making us more sedentary than ever. These days, we may be sitting in our home offices or working from the dinner table or sitting in front of TV for hours on end. While we do our part staying at home to protect our community and frontline health workers, it’s equally important to keep ourselves healthy in order to reduce the need to visit clinics and/or hospitals.
There are many side effects from prolonged sitting, they include:
1. Back pain
• Prolonged sitting can lead to tight muscles in the neck, shoulders, and all areas of the back, leading to muscle spasms and pain. You might remember feeling stiff and sore from a long car ride. Stretching is the best way to prevent back pain.
