Do you sit for long periods of time hunched over a desk or a laptop? Or do you spend most of your day picking up and carrying small children? Modern living means that 54% of people who report back pain spend most of their day sitting.

Following guidance from our Movement Specialist, Tope Tikare, is to start moving again with confidence. Starting to move around again and looking after your back is the best way to start restoring your foundation in movement.

Aim to move every 20 minutes.

Step 1

Firstly, start by standing up, and sitting down a couple of times. Get yourself in the habit of moving again.
