We already spend a lot of our time sitting down in front of computers all day long whilst working, so ensure you limit this in your free time.  And as the weather improves, get active!

In one Norwegian study of teens, those who sat in front of the TV or Computer for 15 hours a week or more were 3 times as likely to have lower-back pain as their more active counterparts (the average teenager watches 3 hours of telly a day).

Limit how much TV you watch by only watching something you really want to watch, not idly channel surfing. In the breaks get up and do some stretching or strengthening exercises which will prevent any muscle strain from sitting too long.

For kids who complain of back pain, make sure they walk at least one mile a day; this can cut back pain in half and gives their spine a chance to stretch out.

If you are suffering from back pain, contact our Liverpool Chiropractor to see how we can help you.
