Long sitting hours, poor mattress choice, wrong lifting technique, weak core muscles and ignoring early pain signals are the five most common reasons we see lower back pain in Gurugram professionals.
1. Sitting for more than 6 hours
Prolonged sitting increases disc pressure by nearly 40%. Stand up and walk for two minutes every 45 minutes.
2. Wrong lifting technique
Always bend at the knees, keep the object close to your body and never twist while lifting.
3. Weak core
A simple 10-minute daily core routine reduces the risk of recurrent back pain significantly.
When to see a doctor
- Pain lasting more than three weeks
