DID YOU KNOW ... SITTING FOR LONG HOURS AT YOUR DESK IS DETRIMENTAL TO TO YOUR HEALTH

  • One of the primary mechanisms for hip impingement in adults is chair sitting. 
  • Sitting means that you are not moving, and being sedentary can have significant negative long-term health impacts.
  • Sitting keeps the pressure high in the blood vessels and make the heart work harder.
  • Within 10 minutes, circulation can be negatively impacted from sitting
  • Sitting 20 minutes is all it takes before bad posture and slouching deforms your ligament
  • The very act of sitting puts added pressure on your spine and compresses the disks that make up your back. So when the posture breaks down, it causes many spinal problems

DID YOU KNOW ... STANDING WHILE YOU WORK, IS HEALTHIER

  • The reality is, if you don’t get up and move often, you are at risk for lost mobility, weight gain, fatigue, and general ill health.
  • Standing burns more calories than sitting
  • Deep postural muscles engage while standing up help produce enzymes that regulate your cholesterol levels.
  • Standing and walking while working keeps your mind alert.

REDUCE ABSENTEEISM
MANY SERIOUS AILMENTS COME FROM A BUILD UP OF POOR POSTURE AND LACK OF MOVEMENT LEADING TO ABSENCE FROM WORK.

These can range from migraines, carpel tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, numbness, neck or shoulder strain, lower back pain, sciatica and plantar fasciitis. Inflammation and soreness are often related to tension and friction in a joint. If we combine this tightness and friction with repetitive movements then we have the elements for chronic pain and inflammation. Medication can relieve the symptoms but cannot heal the bio-mechanical causes of the pain. « Work Aligned » addresses all these factors and we have a programme to bring preventative measures that correct chronic pains which leads to absenteeism.
