There’s no better treatment than a good exercise program. Sitting for extended periods can be harmful to the body, tightening muscles around the joints, weakening muscles in the core and can lead to chronic pain.

Best solution in apparently healthy individuals is to stay fit and strong with some form of resistance training, yoga, martial arts, walking...there are multitudes of options to choose from.

The secret is to choose something you enjoy most.

Remember, small, repetitive movements are the most harmful thing to the body, because it’s easy to just sit there and do thousands of repetitions, daily. Being mindful that it’s easy to sink several hours into a game is a major key. Avoid that, and you’ll be fine!

And if you must sit for long periods, make yourself get up and take breaks. Health over work.
