We’re seeing more patients with stiffness, back pain, and fatigue often linked to long hours of sitting. Here’s why👇
1️⃣ Muscles Switch Off
Your glutes and core become less active, leading to tight hips and weaker support for your spine.
2️⃣ Slower Metabolism
Sitting reduces calorie burn and affects how your body manages blood sugar and fats.
3️⃣ More Pressure on Your Spine
Long hours in a seated posture increase strain on your lower back, neck, and shoulders.
4️⃣ Reduced Blood Flow
Circulation slows, especially in the legs — causing stiffness, swelling, or that “heavy” feeling.
5️⃣ Lower Energy & Focus
Less movement = less oxygen flow. This can leave you feeling tired and foggy.
💡 Quick Tips to Break the Cycle
✔️ Stand or stretch every 30–45 minutes
✔️ Add short walking breaks to your day
✔️ Keep your workstation posture-friendly
✔️ Activate your glutes + core daily
