Back Pain

Back pain affects more than 1 in 8 people in Ireland and the typical seated office worker suffers more from musculoskeletal injuries than those workers who do daily manual labor. 

Back pain can decrease workplace productivity, quality of life and lead to other health-related issues. 

In this article we highlight our favourite active back stretches and exercises for office workers. These movements can help easy aches and pains and are quick and easy exercises for office workouts.
