What's better sitting or standing at work.

A subject that came up this morning while speaking with a client after the training session who suffer from a bad back.

she mentioned that her back is worse when seated at her work desk.

Which can be for up to 9hr (sometimes longer) being a graphic designer to reach dead lines

I mentioned that i seem to get more down standing because when i sit using the lap top my rids on the right side hurt.

Yes I know posture but I coach / teach and over the years have used a computer less and less since Uni.

Unless researching for something even then I try to keep it to small amounts of time because I'd rather coach / teach or go for a run.

Then bang looks what's just pop into my inbox this afternoon from precision nutrition.

A blog post on the very same subject.

Happy reading.

Big wallet and back pain!

While driving my kids to the play gym I recalled a story a client total me about this miracle cure from back pain his boss had.

See his boss drove to and from work every back day for upto an hour.

I must say not my ideal start to the day but needs must. .

Anyhow he been suffering with on going back pain for quite some time with no progress.

Until it was observed that after a treatment he placed he's wallet in his back pocket. See he'd been sitting on the wallet while he drove to work.

God knows how he managed to sit and drive.

He was quick given the advise of putting the wallet in a different pocket.

Low and behold the back pain started to go.

In fact like a miracle over night it seemed.

See the wallet was comproming the pelvis and the spine adapted to this causing the pain and discomfort.

Once the pelvis was in a better position everything else fell into place.

Problem solved..

On the next post it's all about tight hamstrings :- Is this good or bad

Got to go the kids
Need a brink after all the running around.
