Joint pain related to sitting at your desk for hours is a common complaint these days. In fact, for those of us who have desk jobs, sitting occupies most of our time. We sit in our car for hours to commute to work; we sit at our desks for at least 8 to 10 hours a day; and then we go home and may sit in front of the television till it’s time for bed. This adds up to a lot of sitting!

We often think sitting is a form of inactivity and neglect to realize that our joints are working hard to support the body in a sitting posture. Learning to sit correctly to minimize health hazards associated with marathon sitting would do us well in the long run!
