A recent study conducted by the University of Turku in Finland has shed light on the importance of reducing daily sitting to prevent back pain from worsening. This six-month study provided valuable insights into the correlation between activity levels and back pain, as well as the underlying mechanisms responsible for back pain.

The research focused on overweight or obese adults who spent a significant amount of time sitting each day. Participants were able to reduce their daily sitting time by an average of 40 minutes over the course of the study, which was published in the journal BMJ Open.

Dr. Jooa Norha, a Physiotherapist and Doctoral Researcher at the University of Turku, highlighted the significance of the study in addressing the risk factors associated with back pain. The findings indicated that reducing sitting could effectively prevent or alleviate back pain, even among individuals who lead sedentary lifestyles.

One of the key aspects of the study was the exploration of potential mechanisms behind the prevention of back pain. While changes in muscle composition and glucose metabolism were not directly linked to improvements in back pain, the study utilized advanced imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and PET imaging to analyze the back muscles.

Dr. Norha emphasized the importance of incorporating physical activity, such as walking or more vigorous exercise, in addition to reducing sitting time. The researchers also highlighted the significance of varying postures throughout the day, rather than focusing solely on finding the perfect posture.

For individuals concerned about their back health, the study provides valuable insights into the benefits of reducing sitting time and engaging in regular physical activity. By implementing simple changes to reduce sedentary behavior, individuals can potentially prevent or alleviate back pain and improve overall back health.
