Sitting Makes My Back Hurt
Pain with sitting usually means flexed posture + sleepy hips/core + stiff fascia. Small changes can reduce strain fast.
Quick fixes
- Sit tall with hips slightly higher than knees; support low back.
- Take micro-breaks every 30–40 minutes; stand/walk 1–2 minutes.
- Keep screen at eye level; avoid slouching forward.
Activation breaks
- Glute squeezes and pelvic tilts while seated.
- Hip hinge drills when standing to reset back load.
- Core brace practice (gentle) to support the spine.
Get checked if pain shoots down the leg, numbness appears, or sitting tolerance keeps shrinking.
How we help
- Circulation PT for posture coaching, hip/core activation, and fascia mobility.
- Circulation HD if nerve/fascial entrapment contributes.
