Stillness does. The human back is built for variety \u2014 it feeds its discs by changing pressure, which means the best sitting posture is simply your next one.<\/p>\n<h3>The truce terms<\/h3>\n<p><strong>1. Move the clock, not just the chair.<\/strong> Every 30\u201345 minutes, stand for a minute. Refill water. Take calls upright. The interruption is the treatment; no equipment required.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Bring the screen to your eyes,<\/strong> not your neck to the screen. The top of the display around eyebrow height; laptop users, a stand plus external keyboard is the single best purchase in ergonomics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Let the chair carry you.<\/strong> Sit back into the backrest, feet flat, forearms level. &#8216;Sitting up straight&#8217; by muscle power alone is a workout, not a posture \u2014 it fails by 11 a.m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Strengthen what sitting weakens.<\/strong> Two short sessions a week for hips, glutes and trunk cover most desk-related backs. Walking counts. Stairs count double.<\/p>\n<h3>What pain is saying \u2014 and not saying<\/h3>\n<p>Most desk-related back pain is muscular, cranky rather than damaged, and eases within days to weeks with movement. Pain is a smoke alarm \u2014 sensitive by design \u2014 not an X-ray report.<\/p>\n<p>Come and see us promptly if pain runs below the knee, if a foot feels weak or numb, if pain wakes you at night consistently, or if it follows a fall. Those patterns deserve a proper look. Everything else mostly deserves motion, reassurance, and a desk that has signed the truce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Desks do not damage spines. Stillness does.
