If your spine could send you a text, what would it say?
Probably something like, “Oi. Get up. Move around. I’m not designed for this much sitting.”
And it would be absolutely right.
Most of us weren’t built for 8+ hours at a desk. Yet here we are—working hard, doing our best, and wondering why our backs and necks feel like they’ve aged twenty years in six months.
When we sit too long, especially with poor posture, our spine is under constant strain. Muscles switch off. Joints stiffen. Tension builds. Before you know it, you’re reaching for the heat pack again. Accelerating the wear and tear.
Feet flat? Hips above knees? Back supported? Screen at eye level? If not—adjust your setup. Even small changes can help reduce the daily load on your spine.
Set a reminder to stand, stretch, and walk about every hour. It doesn’t need to be a yoga session—just a minute or two to move your body and reset your posture. Your spine (and your productivity) will thank you.
Regular chiropractic care can help keep your spine in good working order, improve your posture, and ease the knock-on effects of desk strain. It’s not just about fixing discomfort—it’s about supporting your body to work better, naturally.
Your desk job doesn’t have to mean daily aches. With the right habits and support, your spine can feel stronger, more mobile, and up to the task—every single day.
With love, Tom
