Sitting may be the leading cause of back pain. While there are ways to mitigate that influence, we should also realize that chairs, beds and footwear are impacting us nearly twenty-four hours per day. Like the wrong chair, our mattresses and shoes can exert biomechanical pressures and strains which affect our joints, internal organs, nerves and vessels. They can also restrict or divert the normal movement of fluids and energies in so many different places that we rarely connect the symptoms to the underlying causes.
