How to Prevent Back Pain at Work

Written By Catherine Fiocco

Back pain is common for office workers, teachers, and active professionals alike.


Tips to prevent back pain:

  • Maintain proper posture at your desk

  • Take frequent movement breaks

  • Adjust your workstation ergonomically

  • Perform daily stretching and strengthening exercises

Preventative measures reduce discomfort and improve overall spinal health.
