Sedentary behavior can be a huge contributor to back pain. It can be very easy to spend all day sitting on the couch watching your favorite show, but it is not good for your back. If you feel like you’ve been sitting for too long try doing some sort of exercise such as going for a walk or doing some stretching. It’s important that you try to incorporate at least 30 minutes of exercise into your daily routine to avoid sedentary behavior and back pain.
