What to do if you have back pain from sitting for a long time

People who sit for long periods of time will find that they are prone to back pain. At this time, they can relieve the pain by pressing and kneading these parts. Of course, they should also pay attention to sitting for an hour and then get up and move around and rest for ten minutes.

1. Knead: Sit down, put the five fingers of both hands together, and place them on the left and right lumbar vertebrae respectively, with the palms facing inward, and rub up and down slowly until they become warm.

2. Roll : Make fists with both hands, place them on your waist and roll and massage around, from bottom to top and from top to bottom, repeatedly. The head can be tilted forward or backward.

3. Push: After rubbing your hands together until they are warm, overlap them and place them in the middle of the lumbar spine. Push and rub from top to bottom 30-50 times until a local feeling of warmth is generated.

Press: Put your hands on your waist and press your thumbs on the waist points. Squeeze hard and rotate and knead, first clockwise and then counterclockwise, 36 circles each.

4. Pinch : Sit with your legs stretched forward, or bend your knees, or sit upright. Use both hands to pinch, lift and release the waist muscles 15-20 times.

5. Tap : Make fists with both hands, with the palms facing outwards, and tap the waist lightly without causing pain. Do this on both sides at the same time, 30 times each.

6. Grab: Put your hands behind your waist, with your thumbs in front, pressing on the sides of your waist without moving. Use the other four fingers to scratch the skin on both sides of the lumbar vertebrae, from the waist to the tail. Do this with both hands at the same time, 36 times each.

7. Shake : Place both hands on the waist, press the waist with the base of the palms, and shake up and down quickly 15-20 times with the palms facing inward.

8. Press : Sit down and press and rub the Ren Zhong point with the left or right middle fingertips for 1-2 minutes. Press: Sit down and press the Weizhong acupoints (behind the knee joints) on both legs with the middle fingertips of both hands.

Press for 1-2 minutes, until the area being pressed begins to feel sore, numb, or swollen.
