How to Eliminate the Pain in the Back? Simple Exercises to Do at Your Standing Desk

When you are sitting, your back needs to take an unnatural position to adjust to the back of the seat. You might not notice any problems if you stay in the position for a short time. However, prolonged sitting periods, for example, at work, can cause discomfort and pain in the back.

If you are working at a standing desk, you can do a simple exercise to release the tension in the muscles. For that, do the following:

• Stretch one arm, put it across your chest;
• The other arm goes under and above the arm that is on the chest. It looks like you are hugging the arm that is across the chest;
• Stretch both arms;
• Reverse the arms positions;
• Repeat the exercise as long as needed until you feel that the back muscles are relaxed, and the pain is reduced.

A standing desk is just the right item to do this exercise. You have enough space and do not attract the attention of your colleagues. Once you get used to doing it every 30 minutes, you will forget about back pains caused by prolonged sitting.

One more simple exercise that you can do is a so-called rock’n’roll exercise. Get up from your working place. Step back. This time, you do not need your standing desk to serve as a support for you. Start leaning back. Do it slowly, otherwise, you might damage your muscles. Lean back as much as you can. Now, lean forth. Touch the ground without bending your knees. Add leaning right and left. Within one month, you will not only get rid of backache, but your stomach muscles will become firmer.
