08 Mar 2010 BY Katrina Tarrant POSTED IN Back Pain, Physiotherapy Tweet Yes, Sitting is Really Bad for You Some of you may have seen this last week in the Sydney Morning Herald. This newspaper article highlights the effect on our bodies of sitting- scary stuff that effects not only our physical wellbeing, but also our physiological and overall mortality. I have found personally from working with injured workers, that there is a trend in newer offices to incorporate a communal standing work station or two for all to share and utilise throughout the day. This is a great idea and at least a step in the right direction to minimise the detrimental effects of our increasingly sedentary lifestyles. Perhaps you will now think twice about those hours sat in front of the TV at the end of your work days. http://www.smh.com.au/executive-style/management/beware-of-the-chair-20100303-pj4g.html Thanks to Lou H for the link.
