Lower back discomfort is among the leading causes of workplace absenteeism in Kenya. Prolonged sitting exerts immense pressure on the lumbar discs (L4-L5 and L5-S1).
Effective Strategies:

Use a dual-pull lumbar sacral support belt during prolonged standing or lifting tasks.
Ensure your knees remain at a 90-degree angle with feet flat on the floor while working at your desk.
Incorporate mini-breaks every 45 minutes to stretch hip flexors and decompress the spine.
