Sitting is the new smoking!

or is it?

Do you sit for long periods at a computer to earn living!

Some arguments for and against





The world is changing and we have to change with it, and it turns out the computer is king of the workplace and we all sit too long working at the computer.

To keep up with or get in front of things we have to sit for longer and longer in front of that keyboard, for whole shifts on a consistent basis.

In the long term this can cause health problems with neck, shoulder, lower back, upper leg, lower legs and everything else as well.

In our case we are setting ourselves up for something called Deep Vein Thrombosis.  This is a very dangerous problem to develop, it is a blood clotting issue in the lower legs where the circulation has been compromised.   The blood clots can break away and lodge in the lungs, the brain or the heart.

It is usually thought of as being associated with long distance flights, and always happens to other people but I recently discovered that a young distant relative of mine died aged 16 so if you don't keep that circulation going it could happen to you too.



When you just sit still for many hours the calf muscle pump which takes used blood back to the body through the venous system doesn't move so the blood remains static and not moving from the toes up.  The fluid in the blood can move in and out of the vein walls and it leaves the blood, going out and filling all the tissue spaces because it is not being moved up the legs fast enough the ankles swell.


You can raise the legs to allow gravity to help dain the legs of fluid if you have an easy life and indeterminate time for this to happen

or
You can take a pro-active role in making it happen using medical physiology as a basis

Many people who spend their day sitting down at the computer would be familiar with swollen ankles





You can buy equipment to make this happen or you can use knowledge and the hands to make it happen

and a strap to use while sitting at your desk at work
We offer a simple tested practical  environmentally friendly solution to the problem

The manual on Wholistic Light Manual Muscle Relaxtion is US $19.95
