Sitting will slowly kill you! In many people’s subconscious, if the work is to sit in the office, without the sun and rain, compared with some outdoor workers is considered decent happiness. However, numerous studies have shown that sedentary patterns are among the top 10 causes of death and disability, with close to 2 million deaths globally linked to sedentary behaviour each year.

When sitting for a long time, the lumbar spine and cervical spine will continue to be stressed, and the muscles of the waist and neck will be in a state of tension, and they will not be relaxed for a long time, resulting in decreased muscle elasticity. In addition, the sitting posture is not correct, often accompanied by bowing and other actions, which further aggravate the gravity of the lumbar vertebra, and over time will lead to lumbar disc herniation, cervical spondylosis and other diseases.

When we sit for a long time, the lubrication fluid of the knee joint is reduced, and the articular cartilage is degraded and thinned due to lack of nutrition. Over time, it is like a rusty bearing, losing flexibility and gradually progressing to osteoarthritis and other diseases.

It is recommended that you set a timer on your mobile phone or watch, get up and walk around every half hour, pour water or go to the toilet, and carry out cervical spine activities or upper limb exercises while walking on the way to relax the muscles. Standing desks are also a great way to prevent prolonged sitting during the workday, and many are adjustable to stand for two hours and then sit down again when it’s time to focus or take a break.

What’s more, you could use some portable massagers to help yourself to relax the muscle. Knee massager use heating, air pressure, vibration and red light functions to relax your knees. Massgae cushion use mechanical kneading and heating to protect your lumbar and back. You could also choose neck massager, lumbar massager and so on to have a relaxation.
