Many people have jobs that require them to do a lot of standing. This can also place a great deal of pressure on joints, especially in the spine. Follow these important standing tips:
  • Stand in a stable position with feet flat on the ground.

  • Avoid twisting the lower back to reach for things, instead, move your whole body when reaching to change your posture. Avoid over-reaching.

  • If you must bend, bend at the knees not at the back. Try to face the objects before bending to avoid twisting.

  • Lean when you can, this can take some of the pressure off your back and can reduce fatigue.
