How Your Office Is Causing You Pain And How To Fix It Part II Standing too long When we stand, we are using muscles from our feet to our neck. However, standing in an incorrect position for an extended length of time can fatigue our postural muscles. This fatigue leads to an increase of mechanical stress specifically on the lower back. We combat this by allowing the lower lumbar spine to shift forward, inappropriately using the support of our spinal, pelvis and hip ligamen...ts rather than the muscles. As fatigue sets in most people lock their knees backwards for additional support. Sit/stand desks are thought to be beneficial because you are mixing up your sitting and standing over the work day. How to fix: Set time periods for standing and sitting.Perhaps alternate every half hour, or at the most every hour. Learn how to stand correctly, with a posture that allows the body to be maintained in a balanced position.

How to fix it: Make it a point to move more throughout the day. The suggested recommendation is to stand up every 30 to 40 minutes and perform a slow, minor backwards arching of your back. Repeat this 10 times, and do it four to six times a day.
