Why Sitting is Bad for You

Book Appointment

By Jamie Turnbull, Physiotherapist

The majority of the caseload I see is made up of people who say, “Why am I in pain, I didn’t do anything?”.

Many jobs recently have shifted to sitting jobs at a desk. Sitting has a cumulative effect that is more detrimental to you than you may think.

This short TEDEd video touches on some important points as to why sitting may be causing your pain or problems. Of particular note is the part that touches on nerves and blood flow.
