Reaction

I often treat a chronic strain which happens from bad posture on the chair as a physical therapist. First, I ask patients about their symptoms carefully because I already know these problems comes their sitting position and habit of daily life. Next, I give advice how to sit on the chair and to do exercise regularly, even though they are sitting on the chair all day long. In fact, chronic strain does not be recovered easily. Despite that, habitual exercise will help your body to reduce pain and improve your body condition. I think not only a chair but also a bed should be chosen carefully. Also keeping same posture is not good for your blood, muscle, eyes, and so on. I think a daily life deeply relates our chronic strain, so, we should choose carefully commodity such as furniture. That is the best way to win form chronic strain.
