Working in any field can be tough on your body. In an office setting you run into problems like eye strain, injuries brought on by poor posture, and loss of muscle tone in your legs from sitting. In more physical jobs, you can encounter back and shoulder strain, foot and calf pain from standing or walking, and joint pain. If not properly addressed, issues like this can compound over time, leading to injuries that impair movement or may even require surgery to correct. It’s important to make sure you take care of your body so that it can continue to work for you for years to come.
