Prevent Pain While Standing

Do you stand all day in your job? That can cause low back pain. Try these tips: • Sit down when you can, but use good posture when standing: keep your back straight and don’t slouch. • Do standing stretches: put one leg behind you or reach down and touch your toes for 10 seconds to stretch your hamstrings. • Shift your weight often from one leg to the other. Or use a footstool to rest one foot, then the other. • Wear cushioned shoes. And massage your feet at the end of the day.
