ROCK BACKWARD AND FORWARD WHILE STANDING

ROCK BACKWARD AND FORWARD WHILE STANDING  

              FIGURE 1- FORWARD                 FIGURE 1A - BACKWARD

Evidence shows that you can develop chronic low back pain from excessive standing. This chronic low back pain seems to result from a lack of movement, specifically forward and backward, while standing. As a result, I suggest rocking backward and forward on the balls and heels of your feet. Please refer to FIGURES 1 and 1A. Rocking backward and forward is not something you do constantly. I recommend every five minutes you rock backward and forward for about 60 seconds. Again, there is no rule set in stone as to the frequency with which you should rock forward and backward, as it is based on your feeling.
