ASSI launches injury prevention and awareness programme
Association of Spine Surgeons of India (ASSI) on Friday said that everyday habits such as prolonged sitting or standing, poor posture, carrying heavy bags, unsupervised or excessive physical training are major contributors to spinal ailments.
“Since the lifestyle is more sedentary now, you are sitting more, and people tend to slouch in chairs or bed. Especially during the COVID-19 crisis, people are working from home and since there is no proper work environment in most cases, it leads to more bad postures and that in turn leads to spinal ailments and back pain,” said H.S. Chhabra, ASSI president and chief of Spine Services at Indian Spinal Injuries Centre, New Delhi.
