5 Best Exercises for Lower Back Pain Relief — For Office Workers

Sitting all day? These 5 physiotherapist-approved exercises can help relieve lower back pain and prevent future problems.

Why Office Workers Suffer from Back Pain

Prolonged sitting is one of the leading causes of lower back pain. When you sit for 8+ hours a day, your hip flexors tighten, your core weakens, and your spine loses its natural curve.

Arch your back upward (cat), then let it sag (cow)
