Right then it is easy to be led into temptation to reach for chocolate or cookies. At work, you either have something for the small appetite in between or, if you have the opportunity, you can go to the bakery next door or to the cafeteria.

Dynamic sitting at work is an important tool that can help us promote our back health and prevent problems.
When sitting dynamically, we should make sure to constantly shift our weight and change our sitting position. Therefore, if we constantly adopt different sitting positions, we will improve our spinal support muscles on the one hand, and on the other hand, the movement will provide our intervertebral discs with nutrients. Thus, we have the opportunity to prevent unnecessary back pain. At the same time, we can avoid muscular imbalances that occur when muscles atrophy, weaken and ultimately shorten due to one-sided strain.
