Why Sitting is Splintering Your Spine

By now, it’s no secret that desk jobs can take a toll on your body – especially your back. While sitting is never ideal, office environments generally provide optimal conditions for prolonged sitting – ergonomically efficient chairs, keyboards, high-quality monitors, etc. However, the COVID pandemic has shifted many workers away from their office desks. Home desks are typically far less suited for long periods of sitting. Put it all together, and you’ve got a whole lot of back pain. Luckily, physical therapists are here to help!
