Therapists spend many hours a day sitting still and attentive to what their clients have to say. At a purely physical level this poses a challenge to the body, particularly the spine.

Over the years bad posture can lead to back problems


Preventative issues[]

It is important to ensure that the therapists chairs are comfortable and provide lumbar support.

Regular breaks during the day for moving around are important

A regular habit of stretching exercises to keep the back flexible should be considered.
