Back Pain
What can I do to prevent back problems while I’m sitting for long periods at a computer, at a desk, in a car, or in a plane?
Make sure your work surface is at a comfortable height for you. Use a chair with a good lower back support that may recline slightly. If you must sit for long periods, rest your feet on the floor or on a low stool, whichever is more comfortable. If you must drive long distances, use a pillow or a rolled-up towel behind the small of your back. Also, be sure to stop often and walk around for a few minutes.
