CLINICAL QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Domande Frequenti: Mal di Schiena Ufficio

Q How often should office workers do back exercises?

Perform micro-breaks of 60 seconds every 45 to 60 minutes (standing backward bends, seated figure-4 stretch), followed by a 10-minute targeted decompression and glute activation routine at the end of the workday.

Q Why do my hip flexors hurt my lower back after sitting?

The psoas muscle originates on the lumbar spine (T12-L4) and inserts onto the femur. Prolonged sitting locks the psoas in a shortened state; when you stand up, it pulls your lumbar vertebrae anteriorly, causing excessive arching and facet joint compression.

Q Are standing desks better than sitting desks for lower back pain?

A sit-stand transition desk is optimal. Alternating between 45 minutes of sitting and 15–20 minutes of standing prevents both sedentary flexion creep and static standing fatigue.
