Many health care professionals feel that poor posture is a significant cause of back pain. One study conducted in the mid-1970s concluded that sitting at a desk for eight hours a day, five days a week in an unsupported posture puts more stress on the disks, muscles and ligaments than any other posture, including standing. It's no great leap in logic also to conclude that working in this position, in pain, makes a person less efficient at his or her job. Some were stomping their feet and others were clapping their hands and cheering.
