If you spend most of your day on your feet, you know the toll it can take on your back. Hours of standing may seem harmless in the short term, but can have detrimental effects in the long term. Here’s how you can take care of your back:

• Keep Your Posture Dynamic: Standing perfectly still isn’t natural. You should try to make your posture flexible when you can, such as shifting weight from one leg to the other or resting your foot on a small footstool or box. Doing these things helps to reduce pressure on your back and keeps your muscles from stiffening. 
• Strengthen Your Core: When your core is strong, your back doesn’t have to work as hard to keep your body upright. 5-10 minutes a few times a week can help to make a significant difference.
• Recover After Work: Your back needs recovery just like any other muscle group. You could try taking a warm bath, foam roll your back, or do some stretching after work.
